I wouldn't go into surgery even slightly dehydrated. It is harder to start your IV and for your recovery. Just stick to your pre-op diet because post-op is no piece of cake. It does take motivation to avoid head hunger and not eat junk you shouldn't or graze all day. I would recommend being in the best possible mental state before even heading to your operating room. Sometimes when the doctors see gains and not losses or even holding the same, they wonder if we are going to be able to stay accountable afterward. I have witnessed too many first hand situations where a sleever's weight loss has come to a screeching halt and began to add on because they aren't mentally prepared to make a complete lifestyle change and stop turning to food for comfort or not give in to cravings. I have faith that you will stun your surgeon and do marvelous, just be prepared for the hard work to come.

It does make sense! I think most of us feel that way...I sure did. Im 8 days post op, and am down 12.2lbs! and guess what? Im still worried it wont work!! Lol, it sonds crazy, but its my truest emotion right now. Outside of the fustration I have with wanting to eat things around me, though I physically can not. Its a hard transititon...but it will work! Try to stay positive!!
