So, I started my pre-op diet last week and lost 6 pounds. Considering I was home from work all week and moved I think that is pretty good. My surgeon didn't put a number on how much I needed to lose beore the surgery but he is confident that I will lose a bunch before. As of tomorrow I have 5 more weeks of the pre-op diet so I hope that I continue to do well. My surgery is scheduled for May 7th and so looking forward to it. Of course I am a little anxious but who wouldn't be during this process.

What is in your pre-op diet? Congrats on the loss - isn't it motivating to know that it's finally going to stay off this time? ????

It's a 6 week program. So the 1st & 2nd weeks I do 2 meals (mostly salads with protein) & 1 Protein Shake. 3rd & 4th weeks I do 1 meal & 2 Protein Shakes. Then for the 4th & 5th week it's all Protein shakes. So far I have been able to get in 100 grams of protein a day. It might not be a lot of food but I do get full now.

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