Anyone not lose significant weight pre-op?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone had to do the 2 week liquid pre-op (3 premier rtd, 2 sf Jello, 2 sf popsicles, 80 oz water) and didn’t lose any kind of significant weight?

I lost 9 pounds but I’m 6 days post op and I’m losing about a pound a day. I don’t know if that’s considered significant because I’m more focused on trying to get my drinks and Protein in.

I did the pro op fluids, with a few detours 😬. I didn’t loose any weight. It was really hard, I was hungry all the time and mourning the lifestyle change I was about to make.

Im post now and on fluids and it is so much easier! I get head hunger, but it isn’t like it was before. I see it and think ooh that looks nice, but meh I really don’t want it. Before it was I MUST have it and have it all - kind of like Labrador brain.

Im not weighing myself til the 30 June, I know the weight will come off. I want to focus on the way my pants fit, instead of the scales. I think this will work better for me in the long run.

I'm almost three weeks into my four week pre-op diet and I've lost maybe eight pounds? But I feel like my scale is unreliable, so who knows for sure.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
