this 5 day pre op diet has been so hard on me I don't think I've made it all the way through to losing the rest of the weight that hes asking for. last week I saw him for my last final appointment and he said that I did good with my weight but that I need to lose a couple of more pounds and that's it. Will they cancel my surgery if I don't lose the weight the day off?

I wasn't weighed on the day of surgery. I had my pictures taken and weight taken at my consultation 3 weeks before surgery. Depends on the doc I think!

I didn't get weighed on the day of surgery--I did weigh myself and they asked me in pre-op what my weight was that day and I told them. You definitely want to be accurate there bc of anesthesia, etc. At my first post-op appt our numbers (of weight lost since surgery) didn't jibe, and I realized it was bc they were using my pre-op weight, which was 2 weeks before surgery. I had lost about 5 or 6 lbs between my pre-op appt and the surgery.

Wow this is surprising! I thought it was important for the anesthesiologist to know your weight for dosing??

I know, right? They did have my pre-op weight in the system, and maybe a few pounds one way or another wouldn't make a huge difference, but I still was surprised I wasn't asked to step on a scale. When I had knee surgery, I was weighed by the pre-op nurse, and when I had a hysteroscopy they asked me my weight but didn't weigh me. All three were at different hospitals.

Yes it is actually very important for them to know the amount anesthesia to administer.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
