Losing weight quickly before surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello, I got all of my approvals for my surgery, just waiting for them to give me a surgery date, I have currently lost 12.5 of my 30 pounds required by my surgeon. I would like to have surgery the week of February 5th, 2017. Any suggestions on how to take off my weight faster before surgery without being hungry? I am excited to get my surgery scheduled and start my new lifestyle! Thanks for your help!

Start the liver shrink diet, its usually 1,000 cal diet. High Protein, low carb. You will be hungry, regardless.

For sure recommend the liquid diet, it's required before surgery. Mine is 1,000-calorie high Protein, low fat, carbs, cals, etc. It's extremely difficult (at least it was for me) but this is day 7 of my 10-day liquid diet and i've lost close to 20 pounds since the beginning. It's safe and i'd recommend that if you're trying to lose weight quick, safely.

They didn't give me a diet plan. I have been just counting calories and drinking Protein drinks. I have lost 24 pounds since December 1st. I am required to lose 30 pounds pre surgery. I am almost at my goal. My surgery date is February 27th!

Well, I was using premier also, but something in it was making me break out in a rash so now I am using Quest. It's really good and I mix it with Water and it still tastes great.

Yes. Only drawback is that you have to mix it yourself. I haven't found it in a premixed drink anywhere.

I attached the sample pre-op liquid diet i've followed for the past 8 days. I don't have the one my doctor gave me though. I drink Protein shakes that are low in carbs, cals and high in Protein 4 times a day, clear liquid the rest of the day. I did add 1% lowfat cottage cheese because i became weak by day 4.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
