I've read where people say they've lost that much during the pre-op diet. Maybe you can test your "will power" a little early?

I deff can what all can I eat?

Sent from my SM-G920R4 using the BariatricPal App

Protein 60-80grams per day (2-3shakes)

At least 64 ounces of Water daily

Clear liquids- all you want but no sugars (Jello, popsicles, low sodium broths, no caffeine teas, lemon Water w/ cayenne pepper pinch, etc)

All the leafy green veggies you want

*on rough days add 3oz meat Protein to dinner (tilapia, salmon, lean meats, etc)

Eat protein first during meals, drink shakes to "feel full', drink fluids all day.

I was just denied by Aetna due to weight gain. My doctor did a peer to peer appeal and they didnt overturn it. So Im waiting to see what the doctor says and whats my next step. I started birth control around the same time I went for my initial visit and I think that is the main reason that I had a lot of weight gain.

So sorry to hear about your denial. Hope everything works out. Keep us updated.

A total weight gain? Like you weighed more at your final weigh in than you did when you started? Or did you gain a pound or so while doing your weigh ins?

I started my consulation in May and my first weigh in was at 225. Around the same time I got on birth control. I delayed going to my doctor because I wasnt sure if I was going to do it. When I went back in late July I had gained like 12 lbs. It was so hard to lose it during my pre-diet. My last weigh in was at 242.

      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.
