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.

      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... :(
