I didn't lose a lot (8 lbs) but I was a bit worried that if I lost too much someone would say STOP and I wouldn't have the surgery. Stupid, I know. I even asked about it but I just has my mind set on doing the surgery and I didn't want anything to cause it to be called off.

I did 2 weeks of Protein Shakes plus 1 healthy meal per day and then 2 weeks of just Protein shakes (I waited until I had my surgery date to start). I lost 23 pounds. It was a nice jump start, particularly since I gained in the hospital from all the fluids and then hit the 3 week stall. Since then have been at about 10 lbs per mo average. had hoped for more but its all good. All good.

Im in the early stages of this process attending the informational meeting on 5/28. My BMI is kind of on the lower side 36.9. with High Blood Pressure. Im already concerned that during the pre op process I might lose enough weight to put me under 35 BMI and therefore maybe not qualifying. I feel like I need to bulk up before i start the actual process. Anyone have any info or advice?

I lost about 30 pounds leading up to my pre-op diet (I had a 6 month insurance mandated weight loss program) Pre-op was 3-4 Protein Shakes a day and 2-3 servings of non-starchy veggies. I lost 12 pounds in two weeks.

I didn't lose a single lb on my one week pre op liquid diet. I was 100% compliant and even the surgeon was puzzled. But that's why I got the surgery, my body just doesn't like to lose weight. The good news is, I'm 15 days post op and 13lbs down. No complaints here :-)

It will really depend on your doctor, but losing weight is what they want you to do and following their plan causes weight loss. They also know you have issues, which is why they start you on the plan and then keep progressing. If you're worried, talk to your bariatric folks.

I lost 17.5 lbs. Two weeks. Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Shake for lunch, 4oz o Protein meat ( I did only chicken) and 1/2c of non starchy veggies. I was also allowed two servings of each per day broth, sf popsicles and sf Jello. I never did the broth though. Dr said today that he could tell right away that I had did well on the pre op diet

      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.

      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...
