I've been on my pre op diet for 40 days and I haven't been able to control my eating habits. I feel like a failure [emoji24] I did good for the first week I lost 10 pounds and after that I put the 7 back on and haven't lost anything since. The struggle is real I have one more visit before I've met my insurance requirements (total of three dietitian visits) and I feel like I must not be ready for my gastric bypass. I feel horrible. Question do you think I should voluntarily wait another 90 days? Hw 310 Cw 307 Gw 135

I'm hoping my RNY surgery is end of July but I won't know for sure for probably a couple weeks but I'm looking for buddies too

Congratulations!!!![emoji322][emoji898][emoji324]

Was your test blood or urine and what's the difference

Congratulations was it a blood test?

I'm talking about a standard diet not the LRD that's the diet right before the surgery. I'm talking about the basic diet from the dietitian months before surgery. The LRD is very important in preparing you for operation.

Thank you for your advice. This last week I have stayed on track by doing exactly that having healthy things ready to snack on like yogurt and deli meat and it seems to be working and I have actually lost a couple pounds! I spoke with my dietitian and she said it's normal to get hungry when your metabolism is starting to work correctly after so long with skipping meals and my body being in starvation mode. Thanks again [emoji4]

I think it is psychological. I think for some reason I'm making this harder than it should be. I don't normally over eat I just have no activity and I don't choose the healthiest things.I think I will look into a therapist because I want to be prepared so I can succeed with my journey.

I haven't been doing any exercise. I suffer from depression and anxiety and I spend majority of my day sleeping when my children are at school. I normally skip breakfast and lunch and have late dinner and then I graze during the late night. The dietitian said have protein shake for breakfast eat lunch and have dinner and I could have two snacks and since she said that I seem to be hungry now during the day and I do pretty good but night has always been my problem. I think it's all mental because I don't over eat I just have no activity and don't make healthy choices.

I'm not on the liver shrinking diet I'm on the diet the dietitian put me on while I meet my three visits required by insurance. I think I would do better on the liquid diet to shrink my liver than this because I know that's major. Some people say have funerals during this time but I really would like to lose as much weight as possible before the operation. I do good during the day and I slip at night time I think it's making dinner for the family. But I just read to eat before I cook for the family.

I'm not sure they don't take my insurance but the site seems easy to navigate check it out [emoji846] hopefully they take your insurance !

Yes you definitely need surgeons that support your decision. November is a pretty long time. I started in April and it's been going smoothly. I won't find out my exact surgery date until mid to late June they tell us about two weeks prior. But it takes about 90 days so that would be mid July.

Hi I'm not having the sleeve I am going with bypass but if you want just a WLS buddy I would be more than happy to become friends. My surgery should be mid July

Cool. I don't know when I'll find out I just know i needed three visits with the dietitian and my 3rd appointment is June so surgery should be mid July. Have u completed all your test and nutrition visits? When did you start the process?

That's awesome almost 40 pounds on your own! Yes I was thinking the same way about losing it on my own but I lose max 15 pounds and then it comes back with some friends lol. I think wls is the right option for me and sounds like for maybe you too. Wishing you more pre surgery weight loss!

I haven't got my surgery date but I'm estimating that mid July is when it will be. Congratulations on getting your surgery date! I can't wait to get that call. We can be wls sisters if you are looking for a wls buddy.

Can you tell me more about vitamin supplements for discount through insurance? What is it called and where do I look. And you should try Insure Nutrition for discount protein shakes through insurance Www.insurenutrition.com

Can one of you explain this for me?

Hopefully you will get funding soon and have your sleep study test done. I had my sleep study test last week. Yes it seems this journey to the journey is a long journey lol Keep your faith and rest assured everything will happen right on time. Best wishes

I seem to be on a similar diet except one shake and two meals and two snacks 75g protein per day minimum.... well I guess that doesn't sound similar lol Dietitian is only asking to try and lose 10 pounds over the next 3 months. May I ask how much do you weigh and do you have major health issues? All that is required of you may just be insurance requirements. You may feel drained because you aren't eating carbs. You should probably contact her about how your body feels the tiredness the foggy brain feeling. You will be fine after your body adjust and gets use to not having carbs, sugar and fats. And I don't think you are failing I thinking you are adjusting.

lol I only have a hour appointment because they gave me all the paperwork to fill out prior. But I'm thinking they will discover I'm crazy in just that one hour lol

I don't know if I am replying correctly. Do I type in the reply box or the arrow facing left. And how will I know if the respond back. Help plz ty

Hi what does your six month liver shrinking diet consist of? And are you required to lose certain amount of weight?

I should be mid July I think?...my second of three dietitian visits is next week. Doesn't that make my estimated surgery date around mid July?
