Haven't lost a lot of weight Pre-Op? Anyone else in the same boat?



Recommended Posts

How much has everyone lost in their Pre-Op visits? My doctor didn't give me a specific amount that I needed to lose for surgery to occur. Just that I needed to try and lose weight.

I'm about 5'8 and my starting weight was 330 pounds, but I lost about 15 pounds before my visits started.

My weight at my visits has been the following:

Visit 1: 314.6

Visit 2: 309.4

Visit 3: 308.4

Visit 4: 307.2

Visit 5: 301.3

Visit 6 is this week.

I'm just super paranoid that I haven't lost enough weight compared to others. I haven't gained at all - but still I'm just kinda hoping that I get approved without any issues.

As long as you're moving down or staying the same you're okay

That's the one thing that gets us...comparing ourselves to others. Remember everyone loses weight at a different pace. As stated above as long as you're losing you're good! Especially if he didn't give you a specific amount. Don't sweat it! You'll be fine! Best of luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
