I have been following my pre op diet taking my pre op vitamins and exercising daily but I am not losing any weight. Does anyone have any suggestions so I can get some results

What's your pre op diet?

Protein shake for breakfast and lunch and salad with grilled chicken for dinner and lots of water

Sorry, to keep asking questions lol but what type of protein drink?

You should start losing...my pre op was almost the same 2 shakes and a lean cuisine for dinner one week then one week 4 shakes a day only no meal ...

How many days have you done your pre op so far?

Maybe change the dressing on your salad and no croutons?

Body fortress whey protein. And I don't use dressing of any kinds it's not allowed. And no coupons either

I have been on it for about three months

Wow that's a long time on that diet...I would contact my surgeons office for suggestions.

You could try switching to another type of diet.

I was on a diet the same as this for 12 months and seeing a dietician every week. I only lost 15 kgs (30+ pounds). I should have lost a heap more and it was really expensive, about the same as the out of pocket for my VSG.

The reason I didn't lose is because I wasn't sticking to it, because I was bloody starving!! You've been on a really restrictive diet for a long time which is hard (read: impossible) but are you sticking to it? because I couldn't!

All the best,

Mostly except Thanksgiving and Christmas that was hard. And yeah I feel starved but its all with it right? 3 months down and 3 to go =)

It was hard and I mean hard for me to do it for two weeks. I can't imagine 6 months.

It is worth it! Once you get surgery it will be easy to eat the right amounts and not feel hungry. It's an amazing tool.

You should maybe give yourself a mix up for about a week.

Maybe healthy eatting for 7 days then back to shakes and salads.

Maybe do this every other week?

Mate there's hard and then there's setting people up to fail.

I admire your commitment. You will rock your sleeve!

Thank you!!!

That was very encouraging! =)
