Every doctor does something different; it doesn't mean they're wrong. It's just the way they prefer to do things. I started at a high weight with a BMI of 58. For 2 weeks I had a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then a good salad for dinner. Sure, they were only a few times I strayed but it's normal. About three days before my surgery, I buckled down and only drank liquids. If you can't fully stick to the diet asked by your doctor then just be sure to eat light. On the last day or so, stick to liquids just to be on the safe side. But it would help to eat less in preparation for what's to come after you've had your surgery. It def. helped me. Good luck!

Is this norman. Im havins surgery in Dec?

I don't think it's normal at all so don't worry so much about it. I weighed 320 when I went in for surgery so the belly bulge is what's causing me to feel my stitches moreso than someone who weighs lesser. Most people I've seen or read about have had good experiences. Good luck on your surgery. It'll be here before you know it!

Good Luck! I wish you the best and pray that your surgery is a success. Hang in there. Wednesday wil be here before you know it!

Good luck in your endeavor. I've been overweight since I was a little girl and also have never felt what it is to be thin. It's a tough road to take but in the end your reward will be the satisfaction of enjoying your family much much longer. Do you have a date yet?
