I am so excited I can't wait for my surgery. I am freaking out because two weeks before I had to start the pre-op diet we went on vacation...I gained 8 pounds.....I have lost 10 since...but am afraid I won't lose enough before my surgery....I have my pre-op visit for labs this Tuesday....I am exercising and am on 2-3 protein shakes and one meal no more than 350 calories....I am stressing......

How much weight are we suppose to lose before the surgery?

During my first visit it my surgeon he told me I would need to loose 5 pounds even before the pre-op diet. I only lost 2.5 and the vacation time. Really did not think I was doing real bad until I got home and weighed myself, 8 pounds gained in a little over two weeks.
