Need to lose 10lbs



Recommended Posts

Try the pre-op liquid diet.

Per day:

max 800 calories

60-80 grams of Protein a day

max of 50 gram carbs

64 oz or more liquid

clear broth

peppermint tea or green tea to help stave off the hunger.

That may be enough to get you there.

Good luck!

You will have to do some serious calorie restriction and lots of Water to flush your system. It's not the best thing to do to your body but one week shouldn't hurt you. Depending on if you hold fluids you may need an over the counter diabetic to help flush out the fluids and maybe a laxative to clean out the colon. If your going to weigh that morning don't drink or eat anything after 8 pm. You could do a veggie juice fast. It won't taste very good though because you don't want to add a bunch of fruit. You could also go mainly all lean protien with fish and some chicken with green leafy veggie. Salads with small amounts of oil vinegar and some squeezed lemon with seasoning. Watch your sodium intake, keep it at a minimum to help reduce water retention. Stay away from any added sugars or carb containing foods. Eat clean. If you get hungry snack on a cucumber or celery your body uses more calories to process them so eat all you wish. Eat high Fiber veggie. Like I said its not going to be the best tasting week of your life but if you do those things you have a good change of succeeding. Oh and sugarless green tea would help. Carful with fake sugars too they can cause some people to retain fluids.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
