Hello, I got all of my approvals for my surgery, just waiting for them to give me a surgery date, I have currently lost 12.5 of my 30 pounds required by my surgeon. I would like to have surgery the week of February 5th, 2017. Any suggestions on how to take off my weight faster before surgery without being hungry? I am excited to get my surgery scheduled and start my new lifestyle! Thanks for your help!

Start the liver shrink diet, its usually 1,000 cal diet. High Protein, low carb. You will be hungry, regardless.

For sure recommend the liquid diet, it's required before surgery. Mine is 1,000-calorie high Protein, low fat, carbs, cals, etc. It's extremely difficult (at least it was for me) but this is day 7 of my 10-day liquid diet and i've lost close to 20 pounds since the beginning. It's safe and i'd recommend that if you're trying to lose weight quick, safely.

They didn't give me a diet plan. I have been just counting calories and drinking Protein drinks. I have lost 24 pounds since December 1st. I am required to lose 30 pounds pre surgery. I am almost at my goal. My surgery date is February 27th!

Well, I was using premier also, but something in it was making me break out in a rash so now I am using Quest. It's really good and I mix it with Water and it still tastes great.

Yes. Only drawback is that you have to mix it yourself. I haven't found it in a premixed drink anywhere.

I attached the sample pre-op liquid diet i've followed for the past 8 days. I don't have the one my doctor gave me though. I drink Protein shakes that are low in carbs, cals and high in Protein 4 times a day, clear liquid the rest of the day. I did add 1% lowfat cottage cheese because i became weak by day 4.

      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.
