Every time I ask a question should I be doing________(whatever) they tell me I'm not big enough. Like at my last appointment I asked will I be doing a liquid diet a week or so before surgery? Response" you're not big enough" once I get my final weigh in submitted to insurance and they approve me I am going to do a week long liquids diet. At least a few days. Im border line bmi right at 40bmi. I want to have an easier surgery and recovery and from what I've read it seems like those who do a pre op diet fair better in recovery process. What do you all think?

It's also known as a mini gastric bypass (mgb)

Must depend on the insurance. He told me not to drop below 40bmi which is 205lbs for me. I fluctuate from that to 210.

I'm fluctuating between 210 and 214-my surgeon asked me to do a one-week low carb pre-op (Atkins or South Beach). No sugar, caffeine, fizzy drinks or carbs to shrink my liver. I'm easing into the lifestyle slowly, like you are. Good luck to you

That's fantastic sacrifices you should be proud :-)

I think it was stretched from fizzy drinks(sugar free) and just not listening and identifying between hunger crystal and over full crys. Within 4 months I was on my way back to old habits, I managed to lose 42kgs and piled it all back on, so now I'm booked in for an Omega loop bypass, I see it as my last chance and really can't wait. My headspace this time round is completely different . I really feel that emotions probably play at least 50% in succeeding

All the best to you with your surgery and your journey
