And when do you do your pre op diet ? After you turn everything in or after you meet with your nutritionist?

I'm 5 weeks post op. If anything I go to the bathroom less. Have to take stool softeners now. I think I donets pee as much because I'm not drinking caffeine now. I was a big diet dr pepper drinker. So far I haven't lost cup size but back fat has gone down so bras are not tight now.

I started my 2 week preop once I was approved by my insurance company and had my surgery date. Some surgeons require more time based on your bmi. Some dont require preop diet at all.

No my moms friend told me to try the stool softeners. They are not harsh. My dr recommended Miralax. I may get some of that but was afraid that it would make me gag.

You will eventually lose boobs. Some more than others. It depends on how much is fat or real boob. It sounds funny but true. I've lost about 75 pounds before and went from a d to a c plus a much smaller band size. :-)

Never a stupid or dumb question :)

Remember that the key to weight loss is pretty much a simple math equation decreased intake increased output. This just means that you take in less calories and burn more calories resulting in a net loss.

Just performing everyday functions your body burns calories. After surgery most people struggle to get in even 800-1000 calories a day and on liquids your probably only getting 400 or so. This means your burning more calories than your taking in so you "burn fat". Your body begins to burn your fat stores for energy. This is where your fat goes :). Unfortunately at first you will also lose some muscle as your burning too much too fast but dont worry!! Just get your Protein in.

Hope this answered your question :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
