How Much Weight Did You Lose On Your Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Diet?



Recommended Posts

Ahh, sir that is. We are few here but we are here. :P

I do get a hunger feeling in the evenings but have made a strict rule to never eat past 7 pm. Other than that the sleve has really curbed my appetite.

What does your pre op diets consist of? My doctor said I only have to do Clear Liquids the day before surgery, but I would like to do a pre op diet to lose 20 pounds before surgery. I'm planning on having it done sometime in January.

My Doc's normal routine is 1 to 2 weeks of a shake for Breakfast and lunch. Then a small dinner of maybe fish or salad followed by 2 days clear Fluid before surgery. I ended up with 3 weeks on the preop and stayed highly disciplined at 3 shakes per day period. I drank 1 to 2 gals of Water or crystal lite daily to keep my stomach full. This is but just one way the Docs go about the diet, each is different.

Good luck to you Ready! My date is 10/11/12-the time is going slow and fast at the same time, if you know what I mean! I wish I could do 3 shakes a day-great discipline! I'm hungry on the 2 shakes and 1 lean and green plus 2 fruits (apple,pear citrus only-berries, sparingly)! I'm thinking of only having fish or eggs with lots of veggies until my liquid Pre-op diet (starting on the 5th). I've lost 14 pounds since my Nutrition. Appt. 8/15/12, but I have a lot to lose and I'm anxious to get started! I'm hoping to go down 2 sizes for Thanksgiving. I already bought a cute dress to wear 2 sizes smaller than I am right now as incentive! Keep us posted on your surgery and recovery!

My preop diet was only 1 day so I don't think there was much of a loss.

I did set a goal of 47-lbs loss during the 6 month supervised diet plan and was proud of myself for surpassing it and losing 63.

Good luck.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
