You have time. Go on the post op liquid diet (clear liquids) and remember to get 70 grams of Protein daily. It worked for me. Don't forget to exercise. It will make your recovery much easier.

I was just wondering how long you have known that you needed to lose this weight by that date. Crash dieting is not the best thing to do. You need to have strong resolve even after you have the band. It is not magic and unless you change your lifestyle and eating habits you will not lose. It could take months before you feel restriction. Are you ready to do the work? I wish you success.

The Dr told me I had to loose 5-10lbs before my surgery wich is 05/28/08 but I got a call from the nurse who stated that at my preop apt on 05/27/08 I can not weigh more than 5lb more frm my orginal weigh in which was 02-26-08 and I have gained 5lbs. I am ready to do whatever it takes to be healthy but I thought I had until 05-28-08 to loose by

I lost 5 lbs easily on my pre op diet. I lost close to 15 lbs in 10 days. A lot of people on this site use Protein Shakes from Walmart. My Protein shakes have 160 calories and 14 grams of protein. Do you have a herbalife dealer near you? They have good protein shakes and Soups. If you follow a liquid diet like so many of us had to you should reach your weight goal without a problem. It is a tough 10 days, but I wasn't hungry. I just wanted to eat!!!!

do you drink pop? if you do stop drinking it...even diet pop...stop snacking...eat only at meal times and watch what you're eating...get into the mindset of what you'll be doing after you get the band...i lost 10 lbs in about 2 weeks by doing only that.

      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.
