My surgery date is 8/23, my coordinator who I also work with says I need to lose 20 lbs. How they hell is this possible. I was thinking about starting my pre surgery liquid diet on 8/1 to give myself time to get use to just liquid. Does anybody else have to lose weight, if so, are you exercising? Did anyone get the surgery without pre op weight loss. Im just scared that I won't lose the weight and this would be all done in vein. Exactly what is everyone drinking since she just gave me a few options verbally. Broth, SF jello, water, like a fool I got a pen and paper thinking she was going to give me a list. YEAH NO!!! I just feel lost anyone have any suggestions.
