Recommended Posts

Oct 1 for me! I had my pre-op class and pre-op clinic appt today. I started my pre-op diet yesterday, it's high protein/low carb. It started rough but it's better today. 12 days to go!
Me too (just started the pre-op diet). 4th day in and I'm acclimatising. I determined to have the shrinkiest liver my doc has ever seen!

Congrats! I can't believe you had to do an 18 month medically supervised diet!! And an appeal to get it.

It's almost like they might have been hoping you'll drop out and they wouldn't have had to pay. Well done you for sticking it out.

Just got off the phone with the coordinator! October 17 at 1 pm! I feel like I won the lottery, I am so excited. My pre-op nutrition visit is this coming Monday, and then my pre-op tests and pre-op visit are Tuesday. 2 week liquid diet starts Wednesday. I’m honestly more stressed about the pre-op diet than the actual surgery.

I'm on day five and it's getting easier. There is research that found those who lose I think it was 8% of their excess weight pre-op have much better long term results, if that's motivation. That and find shakes that taste ok

Im on day 4 of 10 and finding it ok, I am noticing when I do get hungry more and Im also noticing that I speed eat =( So trying to slow it down, I think that is my only problem (for now lol) I hate Protein Shakes and feel sick after them, so Ive gone over to yoghurt smoothies and juice drinks with added genpro. Roll on next week!

I'm scheduled for October 15th. My BMI is 34 but I have pre-diabetes so my insurance is covering it. I'm starting my pre-op diet in a few days. What I'm going to miss most is Diet Coke and La Croix.

My surgery is scheduled for October 9th. I've been warning myself off of the diet coke. Oh, the headaches!

Hi Suesloosinit,
I'd just be a bit careful with the juice drinks. The point of the Protein liquid diet is to cut out sugary carbs so you can deplete the glycogen stores in your liver, and unfortunately juice is essentially liquid sugar.

      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?

      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
