If I replace 1 meal with a protein shake pre op

[Ms.Yvette 96]

I was watching a youtube video yesterday of a girl and her experience with the sleeve. I think she's 7 months out on this video. She says the only thing she regrets about the sleeve is the fact that she couldn't do it WITHOUT the sleeve on her own. Kind of a different way of looking at it.

If you think you CAN do it without the sleeve' date=' that is the way to go. I have been dieting since I was 6 years old (I'm 51 now) , including having lap band 9 years ago, and I weigh more now that I have in my entire life. So it's time for me to realize that I need help. I'm scheduled for sleeve Oct 1.

Thank you Terry. I keep telling myself I can lose it but the fact of the matter is I love food and junk lol. It just scares me long term.

So if I do this and lose weight would it stop me from losing more weight post op? Im curious because now I think i can do2 shakes and 2 small meals. Had anyone had significant weight loss pre op without the 2 week liquid diet? My surgery isn't till December. My thought' date=' I guess, is maybe I can do it on my own. Idk.[/quote']

I have lost 100+ lbs 2 other times in my life and couldn't keep it off. I have hypothyroidism also and it make weight loss an uphill battle! Having the VGS was the BEST thing I have ever done for myself, and I would do it again:). It is the tool I needed and now will always have with me!

I'm hoping I can get the courage to go through with. I have days where I'm up and ready to do and then those days that I'm scared. Well it seems thyroids wont be a problem then. Thank you.
