Cancelled sleeve, then rescheduled, and am in pre-op diet....starving

[pminshew 9]

I have a pretty low bmi and weigh about 210. Hoping all of this pre hard work is worth it.

I admit I'm concerned about not losing the 50-60 lbs I'm hoping for because I don't want to lose much more than that. Generally, those with more to lose easily lose after surgery.

I'm just concerned that the weight that needs to fall me will happen quickly and not over an extended period of time.

I'm surprised your insurance approved the surgery with such a low BMI....

Since it's med necessity you should do great. Yes the first few months u will drop very quickly but your body will adjust to what u need to lose.

I have terrible family history and other medical issues. I got approved in 2 days by BCBSNC. I was shocked too!

Thanks for the kind words everyone and best of luck!!

The pre-op diet is the worst. I was super hungry too! But keep in mind this is a relatively short period and keep your eye on the prize. Each day seems to creep along but surgery will be here before you know it.
