Well Since my endoscopy I found out that I have GERD which I should mention I never knew I did have. Secondly I also have H. Pylori so that was fun to find out that I had that. So they put me on a rigourus round of antibiotics and now I have to lose 10-15 lbs pre op. I had my surgery postponed to 10-11-2012 which is fine with me I know I can do it. So if any of you come across my blog and have any tips or tricks in order to lose weight that would be greatly appericiated. I have bought my protien shakes, bought fruits and veggies, etc etc, no carbs either. SO any other advice would be helpful this way when I go there I will be able to get this done. I dont want to get to the surgery center and they say they cannot do it. Please any piece of advice helps THANKS IN ADVANCE :D

    I had to do 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet which consisted ONLY of protein shakes, clear broth, sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles. It totally sucked at first, but by day 4 I felt pretty good...and I lost 20 lbs. in those 2 weeks. You can do it!

    I also had H Pylori and got to take the monster antibiotics. My preop was protein shakes, veggies, no carbs and protein everything including meat! If I was busy at work and got off late I would go to Golden Corral and pick up baked chicken. I didn't cheat once because I was so scared that my liver wouldn't shrink and they wouldn't to my surgery. I had eggs and bacon for breakfast (no toast) and it wasn't bad at all. Surgery went great and now at almost 6 weeks out I can eat pretty much anything. But only a little bit!
