jane13 2,256 Posted May 21, 2015 I didn't lose a lot (8 lbs) but I was a bit worried that if I lost too much someone would say STOP and I wouldn't have the surgery. Stupid, I know. I even asked about it but I just has my mind set on doing the surgery and I didn't want anything to cause it to be called off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swampdoggie 477 Posted May 21, 2015 I did 2 weeks of Protein Shakes plus 1 healthy meal per day and then 2 weeks of just Protein shakes (I waited until I had my surgery date to start). I lost 23 pounds. It was a nice jump start, particularly since I gained in the hospital from all the fluids and then hit the 3 week stall. Since then have been at about 10 lbs per mo average. had hoped for more but its all good. All good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonflylady 1 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Im in the early stages of this process attending the informational meeting on 5/28. My BMI is kind of on the lower side 36.9. with High Blood Pressure. Im already concerned that during the pre op process I might lose enough weight to put me under 35 BMI and therefore maybe not qualifying. I feel like I need to bulk up before i start the actual process. Anyone have any info or advice? Edited May 21, 2015 by dragonflylady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mommabird 367 Posted May 22, 2015 I lost about 30 pounds leading up to my pre-op diet (I had a 6 month insurance mandated weight loss program) Pre-op was 3-4 Protein Shakes a day and 2-3 servings of non-starchy veggies. I lost 12 pounds in two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabl3r 15 Posted May 22, 2015 I didn't lose a single lb on my one week pre op liquid diet. I was 100% compliant and even the surgeon was puzzled. But that's why I got the surgery, my body just doesn't like to lose weight. The good news is, I'm 15 days post op and 13lbs down. No complaints here :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will really depend on your doctor, but losing weight is what they want you to do and following their plan causes weight loss. They also know you have issues, which is why they start you on the plan and then keep progressing. If you're worried, talk to your bariatric folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
