Pre op diet

[vanceheather5 69]

When I got home from the hospital the whole first week it showed me having gained 7 lbs. but then I lost 17 lbs from my pre surgery weight. And then I had a 3 week stall.

I keep trying to just look at one day at a time instead of me having 10 days left. : ( I have to keep my mind busy or I'm miserable. I was home sick today so it hasn't been easy. If I could just sleep for the next 10 days that'd be great lol. I'm from tx. Using a surgeon out of Dallas. U?

Who is your surgeon? Mine is Bridget Holden from Kim Bariatrics. I will start my pre-op diet April 10....protein shakes for 2 weeks

Thank God this stall is over. I'm down 3 lbs since Sunday! Hopefully I'll lose 15-20 before the next stall!

I was 6 weeks Monday. So what do we do to get more energy?

How much have u lost?

43 pounds since I started. 25 since surgery on feb 18. I had a pretty good stall that I think I broke as I'm a pound down today.

As for energy, my doc says the first 3 months can be tiresome. That it'll come back as my body adjusts to the fewer calories.

Hi! I also have been totally exhausted since my surgery on Feb 3. I agree it's because so few calories are going in. And it must really wear on your system to consistently shed this much weight. I'm so happy with the 35 I've lost, with a few stalls included in that. I think all we can do is keep up with the Vitamins and supplements, get your Water in, get your Protein in, and rest extra if you need to. I feel less tired more recently, so I do think we adjust to this eventually. Happy losing!!!!
