I'm so upset with myself & worried, I went sept 6th for my last nut visit & everything has been submitted to insurance I've been eating everything In Sight! I think I've gained about 8 pounds now I'm scared when they call me In For my pre op class they won't schedule my surgery has anyone else done this? It is just hard knowing I'm heading into a 2 week liquid diet before surgery.

@@sherie1967 Keep your eye on the prize!!! They could definitely delay surgery if you gained weight - so get back on track! High Protein - low carb - lots of water! Not knowing when you have surgery scheduled is very difficult - I understand what you're dealing with. Try and lose as much of the 8 lbs as you can. You can do this!!!

It all depends on your doctor, but I really believe you have nothing to worry about. I know I had it all in the week leading up to my liquid pre-op diet.

I did the same thing. I figured insurance was submitted and I did my last weigh in so was a little careless with my diet before my pre-op diet. I think it's normal to have a little bit of a "food funeral" before your diet changes forever. I didn't have any issues. I did the pre-op diet with no problems and lost all the weight I gained back. Sleeved 6 weeks ago and so far, so good!

Been there, done that. The only thing my "food funeral" DIDN'T have was flowers, although if there had been editable ones I probably would have eaten those to! Pre-op diet has gotten me back on track and focused for the future. Ready for my surgery 9/26/16.

I did that the minute after I decided to get the sleeve. I just ate everything that was within reach for about 3 weeks. I just snapped out of it and getting the 5 added pounds off. Don't be too hard on yourself.

My surgery was scheduled for 3 weeks after I got my insurance approval. I start the liquid diet tomorrow. So for the past week we have been having a food funeral as well. All my favorite foods from different restaurants all over the city. I expect to ignore most of these foods for at least a year and a half or more, so it was kind of like a last-ditch taste everything you can week.

I figure it's better to get it done now then after the surgery when I could really hurt myself or delay my weight loss. Plus , I'm going to have to be a model citizen so that my husband doesn't back out. He is a soda and burger junky so I need to make it look easy.

I had a similar experience where I fluctuated back and forth with the weight that I was supposed to lose pre-surgery however my surgery was approved and I had it approximately one week ago I'm feeling great. I wouldn't worry about this too much as remember the professionals know that if we could stop this cycle permanently we will not be seeking surgery. My insurance approved the surgery.

They're not going to reschedule you. Anyone who says differently is wrong. Period. When the pre-op diet starts, follow it. If you don't have one, even better for you.
