Need To Lose 15Lbs Before Surgery..



Recommended Posts

My date is November 12!!! But I'm having problems with trying to lose the weight before surgery. I have severe RA and I'm on 30mg of prednisone every day. I've been doing the Protein shakes...and crystal lite. Bern trying to walk more and play more intensively with my kids...nothing is working....any suggestions from you guys would be awesome!! I'm not discouraged because I know I can get it off...its just finding what works...;) hope your all doing great and getting g healthier day by day!!

I would count your calories to see how much you're eating then stay between 1000-1200 max. I would also drink a lot of Water (just straight Water with nothing in it) because steroids can really pack on the water weight.

Good luck to you.

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

      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! 😞
