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?
Kate

Yes that's exactly what they told me.

surgery next Tuesday
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?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
