How much did you lose on the pre-op diet?



Recommended Posts

Just curious how much you all lost on pre-op. I am down 10 pounds so far...makes it more bearable. :-) Kinda thinking it is all Water weight right now, though. I pee a lot on this diet!

Happy June Junebug! I dropped 15 pounds pre-op following two weeks of liquid Protein Drinks. I'm sure several pounds of Water weight. Good luck with your surgery!

I lost 17 lbs on my pre op diet, and yes I did pee a lot too. It is a lot of Water to get rid of, but just think, your not consuming any fat either.

Best of Luck to you :)

Did anyone drink chicken broth in place of a shake?

I thought about chicken broth, but it lacks the amount Protein the shakes have..so stuck with the shakes. They are making me constipated something horrible, though...so...lost 12 pounds total..maybe 13 by tomorrow morning (surgery day).

@@bbyruth sorry no loss! I think most of mine was just Water weight. Looks like we are getting banded a day apart!

Band is in...have gas pains something horrible.... But I'm not even hungry! The meds may be helping with that. Doc filled me to 5cc's already! No problems swallowing or drinking...it's mainly the gas, so I keep walking every hour for 15 min. Good luck bbyruth! I couldn't sleep a wink the night before. Now all I want to do is sleep. No desire for juices or broth right now. So now on to the the post diet.. Which may be easier than I expected with band in place. Fingers crossed and positive vibes your way, bbyruth!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
