I was 332 when I started the preop diet. I’m 4 mons post op, and I’ve lost over 90lbs. The challenges are that it takes awhile for you to really see a difference. I was nearly 80lbs before I started getting compliments. My stomach is holding on for dear life. My legs, arms, and chest went right away.


I am always amazed when I see these comments 90 lbs ! I am also over 300 pounds and if Lose 90 lbs after four months, I will be shouting on the beach (still clothed mind you) but I am still throwing a party. Can you share what/how do you eat. Also, since this is a older post, do you have any other comments?

Hey ladies! I haven’t checked in in a bit but I’m really encouraged by everyone’s progress.!

Personally, I was sleeved on December 24th and I’m down 51 pounds since December 1st. I’ve already dropped a couple of sizes and I get complements everyday. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but it feels nice.

Surgery date is 3/18/19. Starting pre-op diet on 3/4.

HW: 325
CW: 301 (Went through a rough breakup)

It's so encouraging to see everyone losing so much and living their lives! I can't wait to post updates!

Surgery on 2/18/19 weight at 327, and I’m shocked I weighed myself this morning (2/25/19) at 303! 😧 that’s 24 pounds in 7 days....everything inside of me tells me weight loss in that short amount of time only comes back on faster....but I have to break that thinking. Rny bypass just changed my life. I am shocked.

I was 383 before I started my program and had RnY on 8/26/18 I am 10 pounds away from my first 100 pounds down and it is so surreal. I have had to get different pieces of new clothing and take in some other pieces. Most of the people in my life have all been supportive of all of the changes. That has helped tremendously.

I am currently pre op but I started at 342 lbs.

My lowest was actually 186 but then some health issues, twin pregnancy and depression (I lost my father who I was extremely close to) got me back up to 285 in the past 4 years. I got to 186 without surgery but just couldn’t stay there.

My body has Yoyo’d so much. About a year and a half ago I went from 286 to 229 and then skyrocketed back up to 285 after conceiving twins.

My surgery is scheduled for 4/4/19 and I couldn’t be more excited.

Started this journey on 06/06/18 w/ gastric sleeve surgery. Down about 110lbs from pre-op weight of 320lbs. Weight loss has started to slow down bit but still happening. Best decision I have ever made. Life changing. ❤️

I had my surgery on February 21, and I started the 2-week pre-op liquid diet at 381.

I'm only down 18 lbs so far, but we'll see how I do!

      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.
