Pre Surgery And Not Losing



Recommended Posts

Am worried that my surgeon will cancel my revision surgery. The Preop bariatrician asked if I could lose 5-10 pounds before surgery. Of course, I said yes. I immediately put myself on a 1200 cal diet. I know it is accurate because I am a diabetes nurse educator. My nut said because I am only 4 foot 10, 1200 cals is too much. So, tomorrow I begin a shake and yogurt for Breakfast and lunch and all Protein for dinner. No more than 1000 cals for one week. I see the surgeon June 14 and surgery is the 27th. I can do this!!! Right??? Did anyone else have this problem? I feel like a failure and have tried so hard for 5 weeks. She said 1200 is maintenance for me. UGH!!

      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! 😞
