Pre-op weight-loss!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Don't think so much about weight just follow the plan and you will be ready for surgery . The weight comes off everyone different. So don't set your expectations high just follow through with what you are taught . It works . Some lose fast and some lose it slow and some have stall outs at different stages. You are doing great just hang in there

How can I lose 10 before surgery? They diets I've been trying haven't helped. I need advice!


I lost 10lbs in 7 days on the liquid diet prior to surgery with ease. Looking in to different whey protiens and skim milks. It can be done.

I did 3 Proteins shakes everyday and a gallon of Water a day for my pre op diet. I did no food. I lost 24 pounds

It's not to lose weight, its to shrink the liver so its easier for the surgeon to get to the stomach.
Have you been told that you have to lose 10llb a short time before surgery?

Yes that's exactly what they told me.

lost 12 pounds in 1 week




No I wasn't told I had to lose weight I just figured that eating this way would naturally have me drop as its significantly lower cal than I have been eating for past several months

How?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
