I started my Pre-op liquid diet on Tuesday Sept 23rd and I'm already down 5lbs. It's scary how fast the weight is coming off. My favorite pair of jeans are starting to be a bit loose fitting.

What does your pre op diet consist of how many meals a day and how many Protein Drinks .When is your actual surgery date and if you don't mind me asking what is your goal weight or your beginning weight if you care to tell. Thank you.

My Pre-op daily diet consist of:

2 to 3 Protein drinks

1 oz of solid protien (fish, chicken, tuna, etc...)

A half of cup of vegatable (non starch - i.e. no corn, potatoe, etc...)

112 Fluid oz of Water (approx. 7 bottles) per day

My actual surgery date is Monday, October 6th. My highest weight recorded was 307, my weight on the first day of my pre-op liquid diet (9/23/14) was 282.0lb, and my weight today (9/26/14 - 3days later) is 277.2lb which equals almost a 5lb weight loss.

I'm 5'7 1/2 and my Goal weight is 170lbs.

that diet doesn't sound too bad at all . My surgeon doesn't require a two week diet just requires two days of Clear Liquids . My date as of today was changed to the seventh because of a conflict on the eighth so now I will be 7 October so I will be one day after you . W e will keep each other on track!

The best thing to do for gas pains is walking. My doctor told me that Gas-X wouldn't help because it's a different type of gas.

Hello my fellow AA Sleevers... I am just about done with everything that I need to do prior to submitting for insurance approval. I have 3 more physician diet visits left, and I am praying for a January surgery date. I pray for ultimate success for everyone, and I look forward to seeing many, many more positive posts.

Best of luck and God Bless You All.... Michelle

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
