I talked to alma yesterday because the paperwork just stated to start the diet 7-14 days before surgery. I know that I am a long 29 days out from surgery but I was trying to mentally prepare myself for this pre-op diet. Well according to her, I only have to do a 7 day pre-op diet because my BMI is under 40. I just missed the mark because my bmi is 39.3, but hey, thats not 40 and now I don't have to start on the 8th of May!!!!!

So excited... :D

I was told I had to do the finally three days of the diet (bmi 34.5) but I've decided that i'm doing the whole two weeks. I've been eating like a pig and I somewhat feel like starting the diet (may 1!) will be a relief of sorts.

Of course, I may change my mind once i'm on it lol :)

I have a 2 week diet of eating sensibly, so smaller portions, lower fat, lower sodium. low carbs etc.

Then 3 days pre-op of liquids only.

So really not too bad either. Think I will do a Protein shake for Breakfast & lunch & sensible dinner in the evening. Well that is my plan anyway! LOL

I think that I am going to try to at least eat sensible in that for the first week and then the week liquid diet. I realized that since I have set my date for surgery I have gained 3 lbs and goodness I don't want to push my BMi up those few notches in the next few weeks. Then I will have to do the 2 week pre op diet

Yeah, I am sure my weight has crept up a couple of pounds since I set my surgery date too. As I've been pigging out a little bit!

So actually looking forward to starting a 2 week diet to help me get back down a bit!

I would be embarrassed if I showed up heavier than what I wrote down on the application!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
