I decided to do the two week pre op diet a full two weeks before my final surgeons appointment to lose weight and have that recorded for the insurance people. I then maintained that diet all the way up to my surgery date. Well over a month and I lost approximately 42lbs just by doing that. Protein Shakes 3x a day with lots of Water, a small cottage cheese in the morning, small v8 in the afternoon. Plus either some lean Protein and a veg, for dinner around 7pm.

I was craving all the junk foods that I used to eat everyday ! But if you concentrate hard on it and keep something around to drink at all times I found it much easier to handle.

Good Luck !!

Anthony

I started by replacing one meal a day (usually breakfast) with a Protein Drink and tracking my eating on the Fitnesspal app. Also, ask your doctor or nutritionist recommend something! You don't have to do this alone.

      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.
