If I replace 1 meal with a protein shake pre op

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, I guess, is maybe I can do it on my own. Idk.

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.
