Do you have a pre-op diet?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes....Drink AT LEAST 64 ounces of Fluid a day (sugar free, calorie free, non carbonated beverage), Replace 2 meals a day with a Meal Replacement shake, and a sensible meal for 3rd meal. 1/2 cup=3 to 4 ounces of lean meat and vegetable (fresh, frozen or canned). You can add flavor with only herbs and spices, salt/peooer, lemon /lime juice, or vinegar. *Snack in between Meal Replacements can be fat free yogurt, light Greek yogurt, fat free/low fat cottage cheese, or 1 small piece fresh of fruit. Hope this helps

I'm so excited but nervous about the unknown. I've read so many things that have different stories.

I work with two ladies that had vsg surgery this year and they have been successful. They really didn't go into detail and I didn't ask alot of questions because I am keeping mine a secret lol. I'm just thinking positive and trusting that I will come out with flying colors! I want it sooo bad. I have been struggling all of my life with my weight problem. We will be fine! !!

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
