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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
