I need to lose weight before my sergury



Recommended Posts

I had to lose too, and I just followed the post-op diet the best I could. 1000 calories, Protein first, no carbs. I needed to lose 10 pounds, but I lost 35...in six weeks.

I was fortunate enough to see a dietitian. She gave me a plan to follow.

Premier Protein Shake:

Comes in 3 flavors.

vanilla

strawberry

chocolate

7:am shake

Water w/ fruit I froze for flavor DRINK All day...

11:am shake

3:pm snack or shake

6:pm A Good dinner

Example of snacks:

1)Cottage cheese w/turkey sandwich slice

2)Pear w/Peanut butter

3) 12-16 Almonds

Dinner:

1)Baked chicken Breast, broccoli and rice.

2)Salmon, Quinoa and salad.

3)Whole Wheat Pasta spaghetti, w/turkey spinach baked meatballs.

Protein unflavored powder. Sprinkle on food. Helps you stay full.

Oh...I would also mix it in my Water too!

The reason why the doctor has you lose weight before surgery is so you're liver will decrease in size and the surgery will be easier for both of you. Good luck and best wishes!

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

      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

      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! 😞
