No to Little Weight Loss during 3-month pre-op diet

[beaker27 37]

Tomorrow is my last meeting with the nutritionist for my 3-month required preop supervised diet. The first month I lost 10 pounds, the second month I lost 1 pound, and this month, I don't feel will be too much again. I'm wondering if my weight hasn't changed much again, what will happen to me in the program? Has this happened to anyone else where they really struggled with their supervised diet?

I only lost 14 pounds in my six month weight loss effert pre-surgery. I lost 37 pounds the first month after surgery so I don't think not losing during pre-op affects what happens after surgery.

what if I gained a pound or so this month, but overall have lost weight since my starting weight? will that be okay?

What do you think is keeping you from losing weight? What kind of "diet" are you following during this pre-op period? How many calories are you taking in per day? Carbs? Are you tracking or journaling your intake?

Not trying to be a smart @ss at all, but if I could lose weight solely from dieting, I wouldn't be here.

But even with the surgery, you have to change your relationship with food and eat within certain parameters which include calories, Protein, carbs, fat, etc. The purpose of the pre-op diet program is to work on changing your relationship with food. I lost 99 pounds during mine, and it set me up for success post-op. At 4 months post-op, I've lost 77% of my excess weight, and I wouldn't be where I am without the work I did BEFORE the surgery.

I only asked those questions to try to answer your original question. If you haven't worked on your relationship with food, or put some limits on your daily intake, that's why you haven't lost any weight.

I was the same way.. I had a lower BMI and the weight have slowly come off.... I'm not losing like everyone else says they are on these forum pages. I'm still happy that I did the surgery but am slowly realizing that I'm just not going to lose the weight at a fast pace like others
