Havent Lost Much Weight On Preop Diet- Gastric Sleeve Surgery Monday

[bayareanan 24]

I am scheduled for surgery on Monday. I was told to lose 15lbs before my surgery. I am only down 6. I have been on the liquid and leafy green diet for over a week and have only lost 2 lbs (included in the 6).

I am concerned they wont do the surgery. Has this happened to anyone.

I would back off of the leafy greens. My pre op diet (of 15 days) was High Protein (boost) drink 3 times a day. sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, non-fat yogurt, and low sodium chicken broth. I had NO SOLIDS!~ I dropped 21 lbs. and my surgery and recovery were textbook. No vomiting like the others had, none of that. I was told it was to shrink your liver to make it easier work with your stomach.

I assume they want you to lose weight cause your BMI is really high? Well, mine was too. As you can see on my signature below.

Most of all, don't stress. Relax and do your best. It'll happen.

It's by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. I feel better than I have in years.

Good luck.

If you wanna talk, you can PM me.

they will do your surgery, don't worry ... the pre opt diet is design to help you with your transition after the surgery... i only lost 3lbs on pre op but i've had great success after being sleeved ... i had a different doctor but you are paying so they will sleeve you ... do your best on the diet this will help you change your mindset and make adjusting to your new smaller tummy after surgery .... best of luck to you
