Need to lose 14pds to get VSG date



Recommended Posts

Today was my first ever bariatric appointment and it was with the nutritionist. I told her that I would do whatever It takes in order for me to have the surgery before March. At the end of March, I am expected to take on a lot more responsibility at work and I don't want to take off. She told me that since I've scheduled all my required appointment in the month of December that I have a high chance of getting a Feb date. If all goes well with my appointments this month the only obstacle left in my way is losing the required 14pds. My next weigh in is Dec 29th. I know I am reaching high but I want to really go for it. I plan to up my Protein and veggies and hit the gym hard. I would value any helpful suggestions. I want this so bad I can almost taste healthy/skinny.

I suggest getting a good tasting 100% Protein isolate Protein powder (for example, UNJURY), Torani or Da Vinci sugarless flavorings, sugarless puddings, FAGE sugar free low fat yogurt.... piece of cake. You can easily do this by Dec. 29th.

Yep, I would simulate a pre-op diet. Protein Shakes 3-5 times a day. Water and Decaf tea or coffee only.

I lost 10 pounds in 14 days on my pre op diet. 3- 5 Protein Drinks per day(Premier Proten broth, Water and Vitamin Watwr Zero. It was really hard to do but if you really need to take off those pounds it will work.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
