Gaining Weight On Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

WTF! I am on the pre-op diet to shrink my liver and have gained a pound. How is this possible when I am not eating crap. Could the fact I have eaten more Protein than I usually would be the issue? I already have low BMI 30, should I stop the pre-op diet? My surgery is Monday.

Im sorry, I know this isnt answering your question but, your bmi is only 30??? Wow! I would love for my bmi to be 30.

But lets see if I can help. I think if you're following your diet, you'll be ok. Don't get discouraged. We all went and go through ups and downs on the scale. Just keep doing what you're doing. You'll be fine.

Yes Vampsy, BMI of 30. I have about 40 pounds to lose. Lose being the main word...not gain. Maybe it is just Water weight.

you shouldn't be thinking about the scale now... just do what you're suppose to do. One pound could be Water weight. It's more important to shirk your liver so it can be out of the way for surgery.

Good advice msoper, I think I will put the scale away. Out of sight out of mind, hopefully.

Just do what the surgeon directed you to do. You will be fine. CONGRATS!

Where are you having your surgery? With only 40 pounds to lose you should be at target pretty quick after surgery.

      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! 😞
