Hello goodtimes! Welcome to LBT Congratulations on your upcoming date of 6/8... I'm sure you're excited!

Regarding your question... You're bound to lose a bit of weight following surgery, you'll be taking in a lot less calories with liquids than you do now. Please don't get hung up on the numbers, take care of yourself and rest so that you heal properly.

Be cautious and make sure you follow the post op diet instructions of your Dr. After you're on solids, and when you feel like you're eating too much, then it's time to see your Dr for a possible fill. For most it's at least 6 weeks after surgery.

Best advice I can give is to take care of yourself, concentrate on recovering from the surgery.

All the best,

Karla

Good Luck with everything andyes you will looses a bit after surgery but as was said, healing up is the most important thing. The next couple weeks will fly for you! Keep us informed!
