How much weight did you lose preop?



Recommended Posts

Hi There I'm just curious how much weight you list preop. I lost 6 pounds right away which I assume is Water and now nothing. I am on three Protein Shakes a day.

23lbs for me. I had 3-5 Bariatric Advantage shakes per day which I could add fruit or Peanut Butter to and unlimited sugar free Clear Liquids of which I just stuck to chicken broth. But, I also started out at 275.5 lbs. How much you start at and your activity level and such will all play a part. Just hang with it. My loss wasn't consistent. A bunch would come off then nothing and then another few pounds would come off.

22 pounds in one month preop, three Optifast a day with 2 cups of vegetables at night. It was tough as hell but that month I found my willpower to tough out the more difficult stages after being banded. It also detoxed me and I felt so much more energetic by the second week on optifast. I also think it shrunk my stomach by the end of it because two nights before being banded I had my last super of my fav food and couldn't eat much of it.

my dr said *not in all cases* that larger people can lose more.i lost a fairly large number but it depends on the person's body mostly and also the type of diet (i was on liquids only) where some may eat something..

I know for me I gain weight from the surgery due to the saline IV.

I lost 26 pounds in 15 days of pre-op. I was on 3 daily Protein shakes only. Doc was impressed. The diet was tough, but totally worth it for safety and ease of surgery - as far as I'm concerned the weight loss is just a bonus.

Got banded this morning. :)

How are you feeling?

Thank you for asking. Surprisingly pretty good. Quite sore in the belly but otherwise doing fine. Gas pains are not bad at all, knock on wood. Finding ways to get comfortable. Had some applesauce and half a pudding just 'cause I needed something to mix the crushed pain pills into. They really seem to be helping. My body sure told me when it had been 4 hours and I needed another.

I hope it stays nice and easy for you. I'm 5 days post op and day 2-3 were the worst. Today I'm feeling hardly any pain.. Just tired. But I'm on clear fluids til tomorrow.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
