is anyone losing weight on the "pre"pre op diet?



Recommended Posts

I've gone to the seminar, had my consultation, met with a nutritionist and am on my 12 week, insurance required "diet". Has anyone ever lost weight on their 12 week program? I've been on it for a week and a half and haven't lost a pound. I'm really glad I'm not required to lose any weight before surgery but one again, I feel like a failure.

Aw, I am so sorry. You are NOT a failure. I am trying to lose weight on my pre-pre-op diet also because I want to lose as much weight as possible before surgery, but it isn't working out to well for me either. Please do not feel like a failure we both will get through this and hopefully get our sleeves and not have to "diet" anymore. Good luck!

Thanks Wishes. I think we'll be getting the sleeve around the same time. I'm hoping for August but don't have a surgery date yet.

Anyway, thanks for both replies. I will try harder. You guys are great!

rolleyes.gif Keep in mind that you've only been working on it for a week and a half. During my 12 week classes I found that I lost one week and gained the next. You're absolutely not a failure, I have a lot of friends who didn't lose anything, a couple who gained, and some who lost a lot more than I did. Good luck!

One piece of advice that I got from a friend who is also a fellow sleever was lose as much weight pre-op as possible. Of course I had cheat days and I fell off the wagon weeks at a time, but overall I did well losing 44 lbs and I am ecstatic I did. It helped me jump start my loss, and considering this stall, I am happy because at least I have noticeable, weight loss.

I started my 12 week insurance diet on Monday 5/23. As of today I haven't lost any weight yet, but I am hopefull that I will, especially since I am eating a lot less that I usually do. My insurance doesn't require me to loose any weight before the surgery but my NUT said she would like me to loose 10 pounds during these 12 weeks. It doesn't sound like much, so I hope I can. I don't have a surgery date yet, but it sounds like we could possibly be done around the same time.

Hi All! I haven't read all the posts here, but all I can say, is TRY TO LOSE as much as possible pre op. It will help you big time once you are sleeved. You will have less to lose AND get to your goal (and beyond) sooner. I wish I would have lost 4 more lbs. pre op. Anyhoo, the best to all of you! HUGS!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
