have to lose 50 lbs in 2lbs in 2 mnths or no surgery any advice



Recommended Posts

wow that seems a little unrealistic to have to lose 50 lbs in 2 months. I would go on some sort of 2 meals of Protein Shakes and then one healthy meal. But seriously that seems crazy.

Well it was my fault I had 6 months but it didn't hit me that the countdown was so close n if I don't I don't get my surgery date n I have been so distracted with my sons apps I forgot about mine he has CP but I know its possible just a lot of hard work I am just trying to get as many tips n advice as possible cause this pretty much is a life or death thing for me

Be careful... 50 pounds in 2 months is hard to do after surgery, let alone before. If you don't get enough calories your body will go into starvation mode and you won't lose anything. Look into seesaw dieting or shredder program. It's about eating more calories one day and then a lot fewer the next so you won't hit starvation mode. Good luck!! Sure they'll let you go forward if you get close :)

They told me with how much I weigh now 50 is the amount I have to lose on order to be approved for the surgery so no I don't hit 50 I well have to wait even longer for surgery

Once I lost from 242 to 192 in just under 2 months. Another time I lost 38 lbs in 6 weeks doing HCG. Of course I've gained it all back but it is possible. Don't stress about it. Stress will certainly stall weight loss. Try losing as much as you can and try to relax.

You should find a new doctor that doesnt have such a strict requirement, i didnt have to lose any weight to have the surgery.....if we could lose it so easily we wouldnt need the surgery.....

I thought maybe it was an insurance requirement. Yeah if it's just that doctor search around. I went to a couple before I found the doctor I felt comfortable with.

        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.

      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
