StephC2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I know this has been asked before and I have read the responses but I was wondering if anyone else didn't lose all of their weight pre-op? I am down 5 but I was supposed to lose 10. I am two days out from surgery and worried about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aSpen Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I don't think it matters, from what I understood they just wanted you to try. I mean of course they want you to lose the weight but if you don't they will still do the surgery. I lost 8 lbs and the lady I was with actually gained 10 pounds lol so you will be fine..

StephC2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thank you so much for the reply. I appreciate it. That does make me feel a lot better. I know I am supposed to be shrinking my liver so I hope that it was able to shrink a little with a 5 lb. loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogiesmom Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 You both are doing great Loosing 5 - 6 pounds is tough and you both deserve a pat on the back for that. I anly lost 3 pounds pre-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimbutrfly Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thank You! No Im having surgery on Thursday the 17th. Did I put to many hours?..lol.. if I leave Los Angeles around 3:30am, I should be there around 7am. (Hopefully). They said surgery the same day, so after my tests I should be having surgery.

senior2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm glad this was here, I have been soooo nervous about the whole pre op dieting... I mean if I have been dieting most of my life and havent lost much weight, what was going to change in the weeks leading up to the surgery! Two weeks before surgery I did a 1000 cal/day with minimum of 400 calorie workout. One week before has been the medafast diet with 2 30min workouts a day... I started at 272lbs and am at 268lbs and I leave for surgery on Thursday at 10A.... I'm nervous that I havent lost enough... And I dont think I can handle them postponing my surgery... I hope that 5lbs is enough if I dont lose anymore from now until Thursday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
