They told me don't lose between now and my 2/14 appointment although they said with the nutrition it would be hard not to but try. My nutrition is fasts tracked I have an appointment 1/10, 1/14 and 2/11. I was told I need 3 appointments but they don't have to be a month apart for my insurance (Independence BC).

Thanks for the heads up on the Soups. I'll stick to the bars and puddings. I'm not too much of a Soup girl except creams... I'll do broth if I have to though.

My Dr was very strict no Bars or pudding first 2 Weeks .I did a few Years of research 90 % of the Surgeons keep diet liquids first 2 Weeks some permit Jello , puddings .I read recently that someone was allowed heavier food right after Surgery good luck with that !!! All I can say good way to rupture your sutures.

I’m about 41 BMI

Maybe what they meant then, was to focus on the new food plan and reteaching yourself to eat and not to focus on losing weight. Naturally it’s going to happen during the pre op stage. Maybe they just meant not to having a weight loss be your main goal

My BMI was 40 which was my insurance cut off, so I was told not to GAIN but not to worry about losing. I had a previously documented 80 lb. loss on Phentermine, so everyone knew I could lose.
