I would give a quick call and leave a message telling them you made a mistake. Then YOU won't have to worry anymore!

I gained weight before my surgery. No worries.

they will know you gained weight, they will weigh you before the surgery.

Also, there is the possiblity that the two scales don't match up. Are you working on a liquid diet?

Call them, tell them how nervous you are.

Be kind to your self!

Depends on if you doc cares or not. My doc didn't give me any requirements as far as losing or gaining weight before surgery. Some docs do care though.

In fact, I gained 8 lbs during the whole process -- from September to December when I had surgery. Oh well.

It really depends on the doc - I was told at my consultation that if I was up even 1 pound at my final weigh-in (one week before surgery) they would reschedule my surgery. So of course I promptly gained 5 lbs and then stressed about making my weight for a month. It came off, but I wish I had been able to have a last splurge before weigh-in!

Don't worry though - I don't think most facilities have this requirement, and I'm sure they would have made it clear to you at your consultation. I say enjoy a last hurrah! :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
