How many people lost a considerable amount of weight pre-op. I started the program in January at 375 and with cutting out all fried foods, sodas (and other high calorie drinks), just eating better and tracking my calories along with doing Zumba 2-3 times a week I'm 3 pounds away from losing 50. I know during my 2 week diet before surgery I'll probably lose weight too. My surgery date isn't until august 26th. I'm sticking with getting the surgery to help with maintenance and hope that it helps with my PCOS. Anyone else lose a lot pre-op??

I've lost a total of 24 lbs pre-op (12 before the 2-week liquid diet and an additional 12 once I went to all liquids) I boosted my exercise quite a bit as well, so I'm hoping that helps with recovery and weight loss down the line. Great on you for losing so much during the pre-op process :)

I lost a total of 20 pounds pre-op. I had only 48 hours of a liquid diet. I did have a pre-op diet to follow that was 1200 calories a day and I also stepped up my exercising 5-6 days a week. That's awesome that you have lost so much so far! Congrats!

Right now I'm sticking with a 2100 calorie limit (I don't get anywhere near that) and exercising 2-4 times a week. I cut back on candy too.. Every once in awhile I get sugar free hard candy because I also quit smoking march 26th. There's a list of a couple fattening fried foods I want to try before surgery and I want to hit up one more buffet... Any who... I have a 2 week pre op diet it'll start aug 11th.. I took a pic of it from my book.

That's the same pre-op diet I'm on!! My surgery is May 20th. Are you from PA? The pre-op diet really isn't bad after day 2 or 3 you get used to it. I will say that I really look forward to dinner though and actually being able to eat food. Best of luck to you!

Awesome!! I still have a few months. I was just looking at Vitamins at cvs while I was getting cough meds for my hubby. Did you buy the vitamins yet? Didn't they say something about us not getting gummies?

Yep...no gummies, but they need to be chewable. I've become re-acquainted with the Flintstones :)

Nope, no gummies. Yes I bought my vitamins online through Amazon. I bought a Centrum chewable, a liquid calcium citrate Vitamin, and a dissolvable B12. I was online looking for unflavored Protein and stumbled across unjury.com-they have all the vitamins we need and they're all chewable. They're probably a little more pricy, but you only need to take one daily vitamin instead of two. I might try those too.

        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
