So is it normal to gain weight during the process? I start the liver reduction diet on Monday, January 9 and VSG is on January 23, 2017.

During the liver reduction diet? No. Actually, I was told if I did gain, they wouldn't do the surgery as it's impossible to follow the diet and gain.

What about before you started the liver reduction diet?

I actually did gain weight before the pre-op diet, about 11 pounds altogether, but I lost four at the end. I was starting out on the verge of not qualifying, so they didn't restrict me and were weary of me losing any, and then I also went to Disney for two weeks...so, yeah, I gained weight. To be honest, I almost feel like I could have gained more and they would have still went through with the surgery. It felt like it was just a formality that needed to be completed.

Our dates are almost the same! I start the pre-op diet on the 10th and surgery on the 20th.

I did gain a little weight this past month. I was craving food all the time, and having a few food funerals. Plus the holidays, of course. I'm not worried about it, though. I know that I'll lose it and more with the liquid pre-op diet, because I always do when I go off sugar.

Thanks for the information!

I was told that if I weighed more than surgery goal weight on day of surgery it would be canceled
