I need to lose weight before my sergury



Recommended Posts

I had to lose too, and I just followed the post-op diet the best I could. 1000 calories, Protein first, no carbs. I needed to lose 10 pounds, but I lost 35...in six weeks.

I was fortunate enough to see a dietitian. She gave me a plan to follow.

Premier Protein Shake:

Comes in 3 flavors.

vanilla

strawberry

chocolate

7:am shake

Water w/ fruit I froze for flavor DRINK All day...

11:am shake

3:pm snack or shake

6:pm A Good dinner

Example of snacks:

1)Cottage cheese w/turkey sandwich slice

2)Pear w/Peanut butter

3) 12-16 Almonds

Dinner:

1)Baked chicken Breast, broccoli and rice.

2)Salmon, Quinoa and salad.

3)Whole Wheat Pasta spaghetti, w/turkey spinach baked meatballs.

Protein unflavored powder. Sprinkle on food. Helps you stay full.

Oh...I would also mix it in my Water too!

The reason why the doctor has you lose weight before surgery is so you're liver will decrease in size and the surgery will be easier for both of you. Good luck and best wishes!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
