Hey guys,

I am wanting to know how much weight pre-surgery everyone lost. I have lost 10 lb's from the day of my last Dr. (about 2 weeks) and I have 5 days left before my surgery. 368-358lb. Of course I have the feeling its not enough. Maybe its just pre-surgery jitters? lol

I have lost 13 pounds since Oct 4th (pre-op appt) and I have basically 3 more days until surgery. I was 271 and now 258.

I think you are doing great. Keep on plan and good luck to you with your upcoming surgery.

What did your doctor ask you to lose? I'm on the pre op diet right now too. I've lost 5 lbs in 4 days. my surgeon said he would still operate as long as I don't gain any weight. good luck to you!

Did your surgeon give you a weight loss requirement? My understanding is that people typically lose 10-15 lbs on a 2 week preoperative diet... I lost twelve pounds in the first 5 days then stopped losing completely... My surgeon didn't say he was happy or unhappy with that but apparently it was enough. Weighed myself this morning, 3 days after surgery and I was down another 4 pounds... Hopefully not just stomach weight! This morning I was half expecting to go up because of all the fluids they give you in the hospital. Looks like my body finally decided to release the pounds, lol. Good luck with your pre-op diet and surgery!

I am 5 months into a 6 month managed program (insurance requirement). I have not been given a goal. But I have been told I need to show that I can stick to a program and lose weight. So far I have lost 24lbs and probably have 6 weeks to go. There is no pre op liquid diet other than the day before surgery.

Yeah my paper says try to lose 5% which is about 18 LBs. But they never said anything about a specific number that is required. Im sure I will be around 15-20 before my surgery anyways.

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

        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
