I'm 2 days away from surgery, well 1, surgery is Wednesday. I am extremely nervous!!! I've been on a pre op diet for 2 weeks, week one was liquid with the added cottage cheese, scrambles eggs, lean meats and non starchy vegetable, week 2 is strictly liquids. I feel like I've followed week 2 pretty closely. Week 1 was on and off but I was down 4 lbs after week 1 and am now back at the weight I started. I have continued exercising through the 2 weeks, moderately. I've TRIED to get the 60grams of Protein in but most days it's been around 40 or 50. I'm convinced that my doctor will refuse to do surgery because I haven't lost weight. He accused me of eating unhealthy last month when I gained 2 lbs instead of lost and WOULD NOT believe me that I haven't. And last month I even worked out about 2x more and 2x harder than I had in the months prior. I'm drinking some magnesium citrate to try and shed a few more lbs but I don't know what more I can do. Feel absolutely pathetic.

Was there a specific amount of weight that you were required to lose?

My doctor required me to loose five percent of my weight. Each doctor is probably different.

He never specifically told me a number or percent at all he just said my liver was enlarged when he did my endoscopy and said I needed to follow the diet for safety reasons.

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