How much did you lose during the first week of your preop diet?

How much in the entire preop diet?

Also what kind of diet were you on?

I'm required to lose 5 lbs in the first week on a diet consisting of Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Shake for lunch, and lean meat and green veggies for dinner.

I lost 15 in 3 weeks doing that (and cheating)...then another 17 doing it for 2 1/2 weeks (and NOT cheating). I didn't get "lean meat", though...I got 3 oz of lean fish, turkey or chicken (no meat) and green veggies only.

I was on the same pre-op diet that you are on and I lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks - not sure how much of it was the first, second, or third week. Good luck to you!!! Becky

I have a BMI of 30 and waiting to see if I am a candidate. I am also 64. Looking for the pre-op diet to see what is entailed. Has anyone taken Myocel for liver detox prior to surgery.

Wishing you all well with this venture.

Thanks

      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?
