NO weight lost on pre-op

sunsetsue · December 2, 2016

So I'm following all the directions and walking at least 8,000 steps a day and barely losing any weight! Did anyone go through this and end up losing a good amount of weight after surgery?

I'm scared to fail

I didnt lose too much before but have lost 8 lbs in 9 days so far since surgery. I've read that once you see the results you are highly motivated, I can see that may be true. My jeans fit better and my face looks better. My suggestion is to find someone you can buddy up with. I have a coworker who also had surgery 6 months ago and I feel if she can do it I can too. We will definitely be helping each other stay on track. Good luck on your journey!

I'm not hungry at all but I am a bit bored with this liquid diet. On Tuesday I can introduce puried food and I can't wait for some variety! Honestly I have had zero problems so far, speedy recovery, no pain, no nausea. I think it helped that I started walking daily 3 weeks before surgery. So keep up your walking, it's going to help you in recovery.
