    Weight gain during 6mtg pre op diet

    Thanks, I can't wait for surgery, my doc is taking two weeks off in May that's why so long, I was hoping for the first week but I've been waiting 8 months so I'll manage. I don't think your weight fluctuating is terrible as long as it's not a steady increase. I found out about a month and a half ago that because I have sleep apnea my BMI could go as low as 35 and I'd still get approved. I agree with you that hearing from the doc "don't lose any weight" gets in your head...almost like a free pass to continue with what brought you to them in the first place. Good luck to you, the six months really does fly by.

    Weight gain during 6mtg pre op diet

    I was told the same thing about gaining weight when I started. My BMI was 40.5 and I was told don't go below 40. Between that and quitting smoking I put on 17 lbs. My surgery was approved by insurance in 6 days. My date is May 21st. I've lost 10 lbs since surgery was approved, things are getting real now. I plan to lose another 10 before surgery.
