Pre Op Weight Loss-Does It Stay Off?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Scheduled for surgery on 1/27 and on the lovely liquid diet right now. I have lost almost 9 pounds but I am wondering if it will come back? Since this is all liquids, will I gain some or all of it back once I am no longer on all liquids? Is this all Water weight loss?

Obviously I plan on following my Dr.'s instructions regarding liquids, mushies, etc after the surgery. Do most people keep off the pre op weight loss?

Yes, mine did too. I was on liquids for a month after my surgery too, so that helped keep it off. But I ddn't get restriction until my 3rd fill (4 mths after surgery) so I didn't lose much after the liquid portion ended - cuz I ate almost as much as before surgery

Good luck on your surgery!

Yes, I kept my pre-op weight loss off as well. But not everyone does for various reasons so be sure to work closely with your medical team for best results.

DITTO!

Yes, you loose weight on the pre-surgery diet, then you have surgery and the post op recovery diet. You'll loose some more.

THEN you start back on a regular food regime just like before the surgery and things can get a little disorganized here until you get on program being banded.

Mine never came back but during bandster hell (after you are banded but not filled yet to green zone of restriction) it is really a struggle to lose or even keep your weight the same! But once you are in the zone...its awesome...you do have to be patient.

      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!!

      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
