Pre op diet

Right now yeah. Haven't lost anything since Monday

Hi everyone. These stalls are pretty common. I lost 20 pounds in 21 days then nothing for nine days. It made me crazy. Then, recently the loss picked up again , at a pound every two days, and I've pretty much stayed at that. Just keep doing what you're doing w fluids and Protein guidelines and it'll get in gear again.i think bodies need to re calibrate after such quick losses. It was annoying, but the day I woke up and lost 3 pounds in one day was a little weird too. Keep at it and it'll all work out just fine!

Still haven't lost anything... I wanna cry.

Just keep keeping' on. It may go many days like this, but then, it'll turn around. I stopped weighing myself everyday in the middle of my stall. It was just so upsetting and discouraging. But, I'm losing again now and I changed ABSOLUTELY nothing between then and now. It was just a temporary little plateau. You can do this and it WILL happen

This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. I am pre op and have one more nutrition counseling session left to go. I hope to have surgery in April but I'm going on vacation and the doc said to wait till I get back. So hoping beginning of May. I was all set for the lapband but now changing my mind to the sleeve. What made you guys choose sleeve over the other options? Good luck to you all sounds like your doing great.

[jpov821 79]

I chose the sleeve mainly because I didn't want to deal with the upkeep of the band.

Or the rerouting of the intestine

I chose gadtric sleeve because there's not a rejection rate and with lap band there is. Plus I k ow several ppl who have had nothing but trouble with their band. So for me the sleeve was an obvious better option.

I had the sleeve after failing the band. The band was the biggest waste of time and money ever.
