My goal is 100lbs. Good luck!!

Is that what they want you to lose on the 6 month diet? Or after you have your WLS?

I'm sure the 100 lbs is after wls. I was told I need to lose 10% of the total I need to lose before surgery. I need to lose 90-100 lbs so 9-10 lbs. That won't be a problem during my 2 week liquid diet.....

Anyone with tips ? I am currently on the insurance mandatory diet for 6 months.

Again, my story. Like most I had a six month program before insurance approval. Like most I was pissed... "why am I wasting my time?"

But somewhere early I 'gave up' and realized that this 'sleeve thing' means I have to change... not for a little while but forever'. I will need to think about more than "where's the food", "I like the food", "any snacks", 'oh I can get food with that'...

And the classes were helpful...

SO... maybe work towards the following goals:

-- reduce caffine to zero before surgery

-- reduce carbonation / carbonated drinks to zero before surgery

-- have a daily mean plan, and follow it

-- be as active as you can be

-- reduce liquids with meals

-- stop smoking!!!

-- no eating after your evening meals

Do what you can, and the above is not true for all, it's just what I did.

And I lost 50# before surgery... almost by accident... (and 100# so far all together with another 100# to go).

Good advice!! I have been in a 6 month plan as well. For me, I had to measure, weigh and track my food intake so I could relearn about portion sizes and what I should be eating. Adding daily exercise has also been a big boost to my pre op weight loss. I am just finishing up my plan and have lost 35 pounds in the process. The 6 months were great for me, I learned a lot. I have an appointment with the surgeon next week.

The 100lbs is after the WLS.......I only need to lose 10lbs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
