My last in weigh in is in 2 weeks and I need to loose 10lbs. This is really stressing me out because I gained 3lbs on my 2nd weigh in. If I don’t loose then I will be denied and have to start all over. I recently quit smoking and that contributed to my weight gain.


OMG !!!!!!!

Same thing happened to me when I quit smoking pre-op.....I used a 0 nicotine vape to keep my hands and mouth occupied with something other than cigarettes and food.....you can do this!!

PS....I lost my 10 pounds in 10 days....lots of walking....lots of Water and lots of lean Protein. 😁

Cut out carbs. On each meal have 3-4 oz Protein and a cup and a half of non-starchy veggies. Drink lots of Water. Cut down on salt. Much of what you’ll lose will be waterweight due to cutting out carbs, but not all of it. Good luck!

Congrats on quitting smoking! That’s a MAJOR win!

I also used a 0 nicotine vape to keep my hands/,mouth busy. I just took my nicotine blood test and am terrified that I failed it! I'm probably fine, but we all get the jitters when something has the power to take out end result from us.

You can loose 10lbs on the pre-op diet. You can do this!!!

OMG - Trying to lose weight AND quit smoking !! Tall ask that !! I met my team yesterday and they advised me to quit smoking - but it's not a decider, thank God coz I couldn't do it right now. Why do you have to lose weight pre-op ?? If you could lose weight like that - you would probably not need surgery !!

Second timer ?? Do you mean that you had the op already and are now going for it a second time ?? Did it not work the first time ?? Sorry if I sound ignorant but I'm in Ireland and the procedure is only recently generally available. I'm thinking strongly of having it done - but my daughter is sooo against it. To me, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels !!! I have a neurological illness which has caused my overweight and I'm so fed up with slimming clubs and diets that I want to have Bariatric surgery and just get on with it. What would others advise ..... Do any of you regret having the surgery ??

      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.
