Slow Loss on Pre-op Diet?



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm a little aggrivated today. My DH is really supporting me in this by doing the preop diet with me. We are on day 5. It helps so much to have him starving right along with me :). He also makes my whey Protien shakes, grills and measures the meat, etc.

So, we both weigh ourselves today (I know I probably shouldn't but I just had to) he lost 12 LBS! Me, I lost 3. How is this fair? I swear I'm not cheating. I may have had an extra brussel sprout or two the other day but thats it! Its really frustrating.

Guess this is why Ineedalapband!

That's exactly what's happening to me! I was doing well on the low carb before, but since I started the 10 day Protein Shake diet I've stalled. Doc said I would probably lose 10 pounds in those 10 days but I've only lost 3. Boo!

Never ever compare your weight loss to a man's! For whatever reason they seem to drop more quickly then women. I remember going on diets with my dad - he would lose 10 lbs by sleeping and it would take me weeks!

Just keep it up! I know it is tough, but you will get through it! My scale wouldn't budge and then it would start to drop when I had given up all hope.

I have the same problem. My surgery is tomorrow, I've been doing extra low carb, extra low fat for my pre-op diet (surgeon required) for almost 2 weeks and didn't drop a pound. That's about 700-1100 calories (depends how much Protein I get).

However, I did lose over 60 lbs in about 6 months doing the low fat, low carb diet (insurance approval required the 3 month comprehensive diet), so I guess it's my body's way of saying "whoa!! what you doin?".

Today is only sugar free Clear liquids. Thank goodness, I only have to do that for one day.

Looking forward to reduced hunger pains!!!

I've been trying to appreciate all the Non scale victories I've had and remembering this is a process. It will come off, I'm determined it will.

It will come off for you too!

      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.
