Most surgeons do not force you to do a drug test. Just for the record. Lol

It sounds like pre-op diets vary from person to person. Mine consists of less than 40g of carbs a day. That's it. I can eat endless meat, cheese and eggs.

Low carb pre-op diet has not been too shabby. Just gotta get a little creative! 3 days into it and I've dropped 6 lbs! Tonights din-din: 3 eggs, 2 slices of cheese, spinach omelet. Fresh bacon bits to top it off. #nomnomnom #breakfastfordinner

Well - Day 2 on my pre-op diet. I've lost 4 lbs. lol It's amazing what happens to the body when you take away the carbs. So far, so easy. My requirements are to stay below 40g of carbs a day. Yesterday I settled in at measley 26g. I'm really so excited to start this journey. I've been overweight my entire life - from childhood to adulthood. I've tried every diet and exercise routine worth doing without success on my side. I'm anxious and nervous - mostly for the unknown. What are the long term affects? Has there been enough research done? I'm still a young 28 - what happens when I have to live with this quarter of a stomach for the rest of my life? Whatever the obstacles may be, I'm ready. I'm tackling this, I'm doing this and there is absolutely no option to turn back. Glad this website exists and I'm glad I'm not alone on this journey.

I'll be the odd one out - I smoke weed on the regular. I also live in Washington state where it's legal and I'm a medical marijuana patient. My doc says I'm to treat it like drinking alcohol. Rare. Avoid if possible.
