Pro Op Appointment
Does he think 10 lbs in less than 10 days is realistic? I was EXTREMELY faithful to my pre-op diet and I don't think I was losing a lb a day.
Was he wanting you to lose after the band was removed or just maintain the weight you had or???
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
I guess he wanted me to maintain, but he didn't state that. I didn't think I was eating a lot of food, just able to eat unlike when I had the lapband. He said with the liquid diet and exercise I will do fine. I talked to a few people and they all think I did great only gaining 15lbs and said that they gained a lot more then I did.
You can totally do it! I've been on my liquid diet since last week also - we have the same surgery date! I actually have been losing about a pound a day - which I totally think is partly because of the huge amount of water I'm drinking. I'm trying to get three 32oz. Nalgene bottles in a day (all those trips to pee really burn calories LOL).
Good luck!

I might have to up my water intake, I have been drinking a lot for me, but probably still not enough. Hopefully I will be having my surgery and we compare things after.
I went through something similar. I gained...should have maintained... had to lose it!!
So I would just do all protein shakes until surgery and it WILL suck -- but you have to. Nothing but liquids. PERIOD. You won't die from it. Then when you get your surgery you won't be hungry any more!
Also - if they do not require a bowel cleanse, do one anyway. Cleaning out that poop will help. Drink a bottle of magnesium citrate and you will poop it all out.
Sugar free popsicles.
Water.
Shakes.
Go for it. Try your best.

Thank you Sherrie, They are requiring a bowel cleanse, I have to drink the Magnesium Citrate the day before the surgery. I have been drinking water, protein shakes, and eating Jell-O. I didn't think about Popsicles Ill have to pick some up today. What about Zero PowerAde???
Power Aid Zero will work too. I don't think it has much if any sodium in it. You don't want anything that will make you retain water.
