Not Loosing Weight In Pre Op Diet!



Recommended Posts

I am so frustrated! I am not loosing weight during my pre op diet!! I have lost 13 pounds prior to starting this phase. What was funny was my dietician told me initially (1 month ago) I hadn't been eating enough (quality not empty calories) so I began to eat more (good for you foods not junk) and the weight began dropping. Now I haven't lost a pound in 8 days. I have gained!! I am strictly following my doctors orders . 2 shakes a day, 2-3 special snack bars, 4 oz lean meat & 2 cups steamed veggies.

Remember that the pre-op diet's purpose is to shrink your liver, so although you may not be losing pounds, hopefully your liver is shrinking down, and that's the important part.

This is probably a plateau. Like Cookies said, you are shrinking your liver. You are also helping your body get healthier. ;)

I agree with the above statements!! The liver is the important part so just keep at it. If you are doing what you are told then it WILL happen!!!!!!! I went a few days wtih nothing too but eventually it kicked in and I am down 20 pounds now! :)

I also lost little Pre-op, but I was already no white sugar or flour for months before, so my liver just wasn't fatty! That sucks pounds-wise, but not recovery-wise.

Sounds like my pre-op diet is the same as yours and i've stopped loosing too. First 2 days i lost a total of 6lbs but now nothing for a week. Makes me nervous that my liver's not shrinking like it should but we both have to keep following the guidelines to a "T" and trust that out innards are cooperating!! Good luck!! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
