I got to tell you. I would have never guessed that I would lose weight before my pre op diet. The last time I lost 16lbs was nearly 3 years ago! I have been battling weight issues from just being overweight to being obese for years. When I made up my mind to enter into this bariatric program I also made up my mind to work it & relearn how to look at food. It is a process. Nutrition class was such a great wake up call & how to open my mind to change. My surgeon always reminds me to keep my weight down in my last couple of visits. It never clicked that I was free to start my own pre op diet before my actual pre op diet. My pre op diet officially starts July 3 & my surgery is July 17. So, my reason for this testimony is that you can start to cut back before your pre op diet. You can start to lose weight before your pre op diet(even if your doctor doesnt give you a number of how much weight to lose). I prayed to God for strength. I know God wants me healthy so I can live longer to be a blessing to others. I myself want to be a healthier person. If you know you could benefit from cutting back before your pre op diet ... Try it.
