I started substituting my dinners with Premier Protein shakes, absolutely no sugars, very little carbs if any they were whole wheat, Protein, veggies & fruits first! 2-3 liters of Water a day! I lost 20lbs 1 month

Um you don't have a surgery date? What requirements have you fulfilled from the surgeon? I guess I'm a little bit confused because it says you don't have a surgery date but in 2 weeks you'll be off for 2 months. If you don't have a surgery date then it takes a few weeks to get one.

I'm sorry to not be that helpful. Could you give us a little more detail please?

Thanks.

I am confused ... Did you already get approved by your insurance or do you still need to her approved?

Are you saying your doc won't consider you for commencing the program until you lose weight first?

Some insurances require up to 6 months of supervised diet and I even heard of some that take a year.

Do you expect to have surgery this summer?

If you don't have surgery now, its not something you can just up and get done. There are a number of hoops to go through. So basically if you are looking to be up and after kids, unless you had surgery in June, I doubt it.

Can you get a pre op diet from your doc? You should be able to lose that weight with the pre op diet ?

Yes, that would take a week to 2 weeks. Then scheduling the surgery would take a week or two? That would be end of June, first part of July I think, at the earliest. Is that something you can do? That would give you 6 weeks to recover.

The problem is that can they do it in 2 weeks?

Each doctor is different. My surgery was scheduled after I met all the criteria and all the results of all the tests were in the surgeon's hands. That took 10 weeks. I was approved before the criteria was even met. Started my journey in February and was insurance approved early March.

I didn't get my surgery date until the end of April and am scheduled for July 1 (adding another 10 weeks). That was the surgeon's first available date.

Try a liquid diet. Replace two meals with a high protien shake and eat one very lean meal daily just meat and non starchy veg. Drink lots of Water.< /p>

if you do the pre-op diet of just Protein shakes (NO SUGAR NO CARBS) you could drop 10-15lbs in 2 weeks... everyone is different... good luck... (Side note - i hope this is not something you are rushing into just to get done during the summer....?? i just skimmed over the other comments & not sure if i missed it, this is a life long commitment and shouldnt be taken lightly) Wishing you much success!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
