My surgery is in one week. All appointments are over. I lost weight (15lbs) but put some back on. I know it clears the way for the surgeon but seriously, it's like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic. No special pre-op diet or rules from the hospital. The doctors simply said be careful and don't binge.

I read to comments about pain immediately afterwards and head hunger. I expect this. It's probably the head hunger that got me most of the way here to begin with. As with every diet I've been on, changing behaviors and adding exercise is the key to sustained weight loss. Easier said than done and while I'm still a week away from surgery this has got to be the best diet tool ever handed to me. Bring it on !!

I am right there with you! I had my final pre-op appointments with the Dr and the anesthesiologist today...paid my bills and I finally am set to go on the 25th. I am excited but scared as well. Hope you do well!
