I went today for my pre-op apt. and did the taste test and placed my order for shakes and bars. Well at the end of the whole thing they told me I would be on a 1200 cal. diet until the week before my surgery, then I would be on the shakes. But they want me to lose 15 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks. :scared2: I have never lost that much in such a short amount of time, and if it's not lost I get re-scheduled. I could go on the shakes sooner if I choose...I guess my question is, has any-one else had to lose that much in such a short time and can it be done? I'm second guessing my-self and thinking maybe I should opt. to start the shakes sooner.

Hey girl, I just got back from my first support group meeting and I saw the Doc. I lost 8.7 lbs since tuesday. I know alot of it is water weight...but i'll take it. I don't start my optifast till November 12th, until then i'm on a 1200 cal. diet. I'm so excited I could just scream, I'm getting closer to my new me. Enough about my day.
How was ur day?

Please keep us updated, I hope u get to feeling better soon. :thumbdown:

Hey girl, hope all's going good. Did ur doc. put u on a pre-op diet? I have to lose 15 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks, if I don't then they re-schedule me. I will be devastated to say the least. But i'm working out and eating less than 1200 cal. a day. Hoping that's going to do it.

Hey Jess, I too am on the pre-op diet, my doc requires it for surgery. I have to lose 15 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks, my band date is 11/25/09. I'm terrified I wont be able to make it. But I got some really good ideas from people who have been through this before (here at lapbandtalk). Just keep going girl, it's all going to be worth it in the end. Let us know how it's going, good luck. -
You want me to lose how much??
meldlc37 replied to meldlc37's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks for all ur ideas, I think I am going to do this 1200 cal. diet for one week, see how I do then go to the shakes. I'm going to buy some Muscle Milk and substitute breakfast with that. Wish me luck, I will be devastated if I have to re-schedule my surgery because of not losing enough weight.:thumbup: -
Good luck Shannon, let me know how it goes for u. I know ur ready to start ur new journey.
-
Welcome Ashley, I hope you find the answers to all your questions, you picked a great place to look.
-
Good luck, I hope you hear from the Ins. soon, the waiting is the worse. I too get banded in November, on the 25th, I too chose then because of time off from school. Let us know how it's going.

Hoping all is good with you, let us know how it went.

Good luck tomarrow, I hope all goes smooth. I went today and was put on the 1200 cal. diet, I have to lose 15 pounds in about 3 and half weeks, I hope I can lose that much.
-
Thanks for the tips :cursing: I go tomarrow and have my consultation and start my 1200 calorie diet, then in two weeks I do the shakes. I hope it goes quick and I pray I meet my goals of weight loss that the Dr. sets ( for pre-op). I'm excited and ready, wish me luck!!:cursing:

Well I hope it all goes well, it will all be worth it in the end. I drive about 45 minutes to where my Dr. and hospital are. My Dr. is wonderful and very well know for doing the band, I feel very blessed that all has went smooth for me. I take it not alot of people get banded in Newfoundland? Well I hope you do have a new surgeon close by, that would be great. Please let me know how things are going for u, I'll keep u in my thoughts and prayers. :wink2:
