Last week Friday was the start of my pre-op 7 day diet. I weighed in at 264 - today 252.- making that a loss of 12 pounds. Problem with this is that at 5'6" I am nearing my 40 BMI marker and my health insurance can deny me if I go below 250 lbs on the day of surgery which is 3 days away. So - the surgeon's coordinator told to stop my liquid diet and and eat lean chicken or salmon with greens and nothing to eat the evening before surgery. To be honest, I was quite happy to enjoy some savory chicken in my mouth tonight, but I am also proud at myself for not giving in to eating some food at the Cheescake Factory after I was invited out to dinner by my friend.
Did you have to change from Pre-op diet to food? What did you choose to eat?
