@@haleymarie - I have been having a combination of Premier Protein shakes and shakes I am making myself out of a mix of sugar free pudding and Protein powder. They also have 30 G of Protein and 160 calories. I am under 1000 calories a day. Confession and pretty please, no judgments :-) : I haven't gone completely off caffeine yet. Still having one cup a day. Do you think that might be it? Also have only been able to get in 50 oz of liquid daily. Will try harder today.

@@leahhindi my surgeons office told me no premier protien at all during the preop diet. They also told me no pudding. Only Atkins, Jello, and broth. And no sugar at all. So the pudding could possibly be it. But you could just be losing slowly. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

No premier but you are allowed Atkins? That is the complete opposite from my surgeon. It's interesting how instructions can be so different.

@@Inner Surfer Girl, yeah 5 Atkins high Protein Shakes a day lol premier has too much protien they sajd

I guess that makes sense for pre-op when you still will want as much volume as possible. Post-op, having a higher Protein ratio is critical for being able to get in enough protein for minimal volume.

Drink more Water (non caloric drinks). I wouldn't worry about weight loss during pre-op unless you were given a requirement of pounds to lose. The purpose is to shrink your liver by reducing the glycogen stored.

@@haleymarie - Do you mind if I ask what your weight and height is or BMI. I am at 38-ish and had been strictly dieting up until the pre-op diet so wondering if I am just not losing as fast bc of the prior dieting. Thanks!

      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.
