So, i was emailing the nurse today and i mentioned that i had gained weight. I was 250 in Feb. when I sent my paper work in initially. In april i was 260 when i had the consult with the doctor. And now i'm about 275. food funerals are partially to blame, and i think that the fact that i lost 40 lbs doing weight watchers, then did a juice fast , then started eating bad again...i gained back everything and then a few lbs.

The nurse said that since my bmi was 42, and now is 47....he likes to watch his patients over a 45 BMI more closely. So shes suggesting that i start the diet immediately. For the next week and ..6 days? I need to replace 2 meals with Protein shakes (im also going to eat low carb) and then july 24th as scheduled, start the Protein shake (only) pre op diet.

Here we go. I was excited to start and now im starting earlier then i was going to!!

Wish me luck and im sorry in advance if i turn into a complete bitchy monster lol

I'm going through the same thing. The doctor challenged me to lose 15 pounds, then he would try and get me in sooner. So I'm working it down 7/15 pounds. A good Protein helps and low or no carb is best. I get crabs from fruit and vegetables only. The place I got my protein gave me a chart. I hope it helps.
