Can't lose this last 4 lbs



Recommended Posts

I made the decision to do the gastric sleeve and went to my first Dr's appt on Feb 25,2015. I was told to lose 10 pounds before they could schedule my surgery, I can't seem to get the last 4lbs off. Does anyone have any advice for me please.

Some days I will have a slim fast shake for Breakfast or I will have eggs and toast. Some days I don't eat lunch and for dinner I am watching my portions.

Try either just Protein Shakes for a couple days, or just lean Protein and green veggies cutting out all carbs and sugar for a few days. Lots of Water.< /p>

DON'T skip meals and no bread, rice, Pasta or potatoes. That should.do the trick.

I totally agree, do not skip your meals and drink a lot of Water. Try doing a little of walking to burn a couple of calories and get water weight out.

Google "how to cut weight". You can lose 4 pounds before your weigh-in in 24 hours. It's not something to do regularly and it's going to make you miserable, but if you want surgery bad enough, that is the way to get it scheduled quickly. Professional wrestlers and fighters regularly drop 10 pounds or way more the 48 hours before a weigh-in. The same techniques can easily drop you 4 pounds and as soon as you've weighed and left the office you start rehydrating. If the system wants to beat you up, beat the system back. :)

Take a Multi-Vitamin, an extra B12, and a calcium citrate plus D3, Vitamin. Drink three Protein Shakes a day ( I used Premier Protein from Costco), have a lettuce and veggie salad at night with low-no carb dressing. Drink 62 oz of Water a day. If you need more, heat up Pacific Coast Bone Broth (9 grams of Protein per serving). Eliminate carbs, low/no fat. I lost 13 lbs in three weeks. This was my pre-op diet as prescribed by my nutritionist. Premier Protein has 30 grams of protein, 1carb, and 165 calories per shake. Others might lose more/less. Good luck!

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
