I used to LIVE on this site while I was awaiting surgery and right after. I had surgery July 2004. I know long time ago right! It's been a long and winding road since then. Ups, downs, sickness, and I'm finally healthy and HAPPY!! I thought if I could help anyone avoid the pitfalls I fell into, it would be worth it! I was over 300lbs my day if surgery now I'm maintaining 115!!! If I can find some before pics I will post them.I have always hated pics of myself.
I have some good info to pass along.. ..some do's and dont's. If you're interested in hearing more, let me know.
Hi,
I just started my pre op diet today.
My, VSG, is sceduled for Oct. 17.
The diet, I have to follow allows one meal a day.
4 oz. protein and non starchy veggies.
Fruits for snacks, 64 oz. water, 3 protein drinks.
I feel bloated and gassy after drinking the Premier 15.
Good luck.
Nancy
There is no Perfect food. There are no magic foods either. Vegetables aren't either of those things. The last time I ate a veggie was in the Bush administration. The first Bush.
Never drink your food, or have liquid calories. If you want to get off to a good start, begin eating the way you will have to after surgery. Dense protein first, maybe a few bites of a non-starchy veggie after. Start weighing and tracking your food to control portions. If you can do those things, you will be off to a great start, and will never need Perfect foods.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
I still have insurance hoops to jump through. I am on the six month weight loss to prove that I am serious about loosing this weight. I am getting in my water and working on adding more veggies and fruit to my diet. I also want to start going to the gym and get a little more active each month.
I am hoping to have a surgery date somewhere in March.

I'm having the RNY surgery. Thanks for the advice about the appointments and the scale. I'll checkout the Lightweights forum. The insulin makes me so hungry. I've got a long three months to go.
My starting weight at the surgeons was 383 also. There are alot of reason you could lose 7lbs, I assume you were doing more than just drinking a green drink...
My pre-op diet before the final liquid diet was: eat 100g protein a day, and not more than 100g carbs. I didn''t have to count veggies in that and needed to include one protein drink. Use some fat in moderation. was doable and lsost like 10lbs in a month.

I can understand wanting surgery when you have diabetes and sleep apnea. My best advice is to weigh yourself daily, nobody's weight is exactly stable.... but it will help you keep an eye on it. have your appointments to be weighed a the end of the day. :)
There is a Lightweights Board/forum on here for people with under a 40 BMI...you might want to post there...
You didn't say what type of surgery you were considering, RNY/gastric bypass often resolves diabetes before people even leave the hospital, whereas sleeve depends on you losing the weight.
Good Luck!
