Pre-op diet vs No Pre-op DIet

MaeConnie68 · June 5, 2011

Hello Everyone:

Here are my stats:

Preop Diet Weight 4/24: 364.4

Day of Surgery 5/4: 333.6

Weight Loss Pre Op: 33 pounds

One Month Dr's Visit 6/3: 314.8

18.8 pounds since the surgery

Total Loss: 51.8 pounds.

I am waiting for the stall to come anytime. It is amazing I am like Meggie I have to set my phone to eat or I will just keep on going. This is amazing for me. The one thing that really bothers me on this surgery all the drs have different ways of thinking about the diet stages. My dr. has me on the pureed stage for till July 8. Is there a rime or reason for this or is he being more careful than ususally because of the weight I need to lose. I think the next time I see him I will ask him. I am glad everyone is doing so well. Till next time.

I totally agree with doing this. That's why I always have 3 sets of starting numbers. My highest, My pre-op diet starting weight and my surgery weight. We own them all!!

So in totals, my Sleeve Journey totals are I'm down 89 Lbs - but from my highest I'm down 138 Lbs. Whoot!! I started my Pre Op Diet Sept. 1st so I lost that 89 in 9 months. Around 10 Lbs per month average. Not bad! That's exactly where I wanted to be and how I wanted to do it.

AMEN, we own them ALL!!! Sadly, my high weight was my pre-op weight, then I went on a low carb diet for a week and lost 10 pounds. For the life of me, I can't remember how much I lost the first couple weeks, so I can't help you there Meggie! sorry. I wish I would have documented better.

This is very interesting!

Bummuh to hear. I have been dieting and will likely have about 30lbs off before I do the 9 day pre op liquid diet. I suspect I should be 35-40lbs down on DOS. I don't want to hear that it could cause me to lose less at first. Wahhhhhhh.

No, really, that just puts a bee in my bonnet, so I'm going to prove y'all wrong and still lose big the first month post op.

Now.....off I go to rub some budduh belly, toss a penny in a well, click my red shoes 3 times and throw some salt or whatever else I can think of. :lol:
