I have been on a special diet since Nov 7 to lose 60 lbs. I had to before they would schedule me for surgery. Well I reached my goal this past Monday and now have a date of April 8.

Well I have a nutrition class this Thursday and I'm sure they will weigh me. I have gone off my diet twice this weekend. Eating at Bob Evans and Texas Steakhouse. Now I feel guilty and worried that I've gained weight and they won't give me my date. Of course next Monday I start my pre-opt diet which is 4 weeks. I know I'll lose during that. I'm just worried.

Don't worry they will schedule you, go walking today and keep moving all day long, do protein today and you will do just fine..... Congrats!

Looking at your ticker, you've done a really good job with adherence. Honestly, you've done better than I would have if they'd told me I had to lose weight before they operated. You weigh less than I did when I started my pre-op, so in my eyes, you're off to a great start

One of the big challenges post-op is knowing how to go out to eat and still eat in a way that's good for you. Many restaurants offer "diet" or reduced calorie menu options and you can never go wrong with lean meat and a vegetable. I've found that many restaurants are really accommodating, letting me swap out white carbs and fatty items for veggies.

lost 60 lbs. - .off my diet twice this weekend

i understand you feeling guilty about "messing" up - eating out this weekend

you were probably subconsciously eating stuff you were afraid you "would/could never" eat again.

IF you did gain - i doubt there will be any problems from the doc/NUT - maybe you can talk about your week-end - get advice about your eating

this is like a food funeral which i/many others went through

you WILL be able to enjoy going out to restaurants???

at a later date post op - you can go out to eat - making wise decisions, eating small amounts - (benefit - you have 2 meals leftovers for later in the week )

you have done amazing loosing 60 lbs these past 4 months

you did prove how successful you can be

we all fall off the horse sometimes (no ones perfect - hmmm except me of course )

Compliant "(as The Gamer said) - you have proved yourself

now go with it - keep doing well this next month

sounds like you can loose alittle more weight pre WLS - thats great

the more you loose now the better

you will do great with the sleeve

good luck next month

speedy recovery

I have to give you kudos for your pre-op weight loss. If the doc makes any comment, explain to him/her what happened. No one is perfect, not even my friend up there, Proudgrammy. If you don't stumble, how will you appreciate your victories later?

Good luck! You will do great with the sleeve!!

I would love to hear about what sort of diet you've been doing for the past four months! You've done incredibly well. I have 4+ months to go before I can be scheduled for surgery and want to lose as much before then as possible. Tips please!
