My thing about losing before surgery is, if you could lose weight without surgery...you wouldn't need surgery....right!! I only had to lose 15 pounds in 6 months and I barely could do that. Be careful and good luck!

My doc didn't require me to lose any weight during my 3 week supervised diet because he knows that I'll lose a bunch during the 6 week pre-op diet. Doing 2 Protein Shakes and a meal with just Protein and greens might help you get it down. But don't have anything in between, drink a lot of water! Throw in a bunch of exercise and it might be doable. I start my 6 week pre-op diet here in a few weeks and I weigh 425 pounds and my surgeon feels I'll lose between 30-40 before my surgery because of what I'll be eating. It does seem like an unreasonable amount of weight but if you can't find another surgeon give it a try.

My insurance requires me to do 3 months Dr. supervised diet for approval and my surgeon said it was possible to lose 100 lbs in 3 months! I just looked at him like he was crazy! I'm sure it's all liquid and stuff. I thought the same thing, if I could lose it on my own, I wouldn't need surgery. But then again, I wouldn't want to be on a liquid diet the rest of my life either!

I would do Protein Drinks that are low in carb and sugar and then one meal a day ie chicken, or fish and a light salad. Make sure you decrease calories and start moving.

      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.
