Help, Gastric Sleeve Surgery 2 Weeks Today And Have Not Lost Weight?

[bethk12@gmail.com 0]

Sooooo, have not lost a pound and have 2 weeks left...this is so hard because I just want to eat everything that I feel I will never be able to again. I am taking my Vitamins and have gotten everything I need for surgery. Not seeing my surgeon before the surgery...but could he decide not do it the day I go in????

Chances are if it is scheduled they are not going to cancel it unless the surgeon is ill or injured or you get ill or injured. The operating room is booked along with an entire crew of nurses plus other doctors.

They did not weigh me before going in or even at hospital registration. They weighed me once, the day after the surgery which meant nothing quite frankly.

Relax just keep to your diet and plan for after surgery liquid meals and new clothes shopping.

Your body may have adjusted metabolism such that you are not going to lose weight, sometimes upping the calories to get out of starvation mode helps as does changing up your workout regime.

My doctor's office was more concerned that I hadn't gained weight before surgery. My losses were fairly small and I was actually pretty annoyed, because I had given up several things that the nutritionist had requested and had still only managed to lose 3 pounds in a month. She told me that I was doing well and that the changes I had made would just make things easier for me after. I don't know what your pre-op diet entails of, but mine was mostly liquid for the week before and that added 7 or more pounds to my loss. If you are concerned, I would definitely contact your nutritionist and see what they say. I was weighed the day of my surgery, but they didn't make a big deal about it. However I have heard of people being canceled for gaining weight before surgery. Hang in there and don't give up hope. Use your surgeon's office if you have questions, that is what they are there for.

First don't assume you will NEVER eat the things you love again. You will .... but on occasion and in moderation. If you continue to be in the mind set of NEVER AGAIN... you will sabotage your success.
