Pre-op Diet/ Positive post!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello ,

Just wanted everyone to see a positive post !!!

For all you starting or needing to do a pre-op diet , i for one , highly reccomend it!!! I did not have to per my DR. but chose to. I did the Isopure dutch chocolate shakes for Breakfast and lunch , snacked twice a day on low cal mozz sticks(1 per snack). dinner was a piece of chicken and salad or veggie. I was not Hungry at all surprisingly. I did do the two scoops of isopure and 12 0z of Water . Everyone in my Dental office jumped on the band wagon with me and my friend lost 3 lbs her first few days. People were just as amazed as i was. It took me 4 months at Jenny craig to lose easily what i did in just over two weeks!!!!!!!!!! Go for it! it is well worth it and prepares you for the smaller portions.

17.3 lbs for me in 2 weeks 3 days!!!:cursing:

P.s my surgery is Tommarow!

Hey there! I did a similar weight loss program to lose the 5% insurance required weight before they would approve. I ate a TON of vegetables ( I made Soup with them), I would have an occassional Protein shake and a little lean Protein. And of course, lots of Water. I lost 12 pounds in two weeks. I also exercised quite a bit...a lot of walking and swimming. I didn't feel hungry either.

I am getting banded tomorrow too! I am scheduled for 10:00 AM and I believe the doctor is keeping me overnight because of my sleep apnea. I will be anxious to come home and talk to you to see how you did.

I have a feeling I will be up all night. So if you feel like chatting, I will probably be online.

My thoughts are with you. I am happy for us!

Good Luck to all you being banded tomorrow! I am on a 12 day pre-op diet... Mine is all Clear Liquids, it has been really tough. I am a huge afterschool snacker, but as long as I am busy, I don't have much of a problem.. I wish my doctor would of given me a certain amount of weight he wanted me to lose... cheese sticks and light veggies, would be great right now... I am getting really tired of Protein Shakes, I only really like the chocolate, and its getting boring.. chicken Soup broth is really good! Havent started much of an exercise program Day 5 is almost over and I get banded in 7 more days

I just started by pre-op diet today... Doing full liquids for the first week, then all clear liquids the next week... Its going to be really tough, but I keep telling myself "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!"

i started my pre-op diet on the 10th and my surgery is on the 25th. I have lost 5 lbs. it is quite as hard as I thought it was going to be. The hard part for me is still having to cooking for the kids. But so far so good

I started my liquid diet yesterday it has been horrible. I fell of the wagon today! But I will definitely get back on! Hopefully it doesn't affect my surgery on Aug. 25th.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
