New Study....if you lose 8% or more of your body weight pre-op, evidence suggests you'll have a greater rate of post-op weight loss over 1 year, a shorter operation, and a shorter hospital stay.

All really good reasons to take your preop diet seriously:)

Check page 2 for the chart. Interesting!

Wow going to read it now. That's exciting! I'm around a 21% pre-op loss. (But hey, I've been at this for 10 months...)

Awww I stuck to my preop diet and didn't lose much at all. Hope I'm not doomed. Did have an easy op apart from a bad asthma attack and a reaction to the anaesthetic and was home after 1 day so it's not all bad x
