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.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
