I haven't had my appt yet with my surgeon - doing my mental health and such in two weeks. I attended one of his seminars, and it sounded like he doesn't put his patients on a pre-op diet. He said he just wants you to lose any weight you can before surgery so the procedure will be less risky. I've done my research and this guy is great and I really like him, but I WANT a structured, pre-op diet. I might have misunderstood him and he might put me on one when I go to my appt, but if he doesn't, does anyone know a good resource so I can do my own? I'm shooting for surgery in late June.

Thanks! I'm already feeling better after reading a lot of the posts on here today

Hi there! So glad I found this app and this community! I am finishing the pre-qualification process this month and am shooting for RNY at the end of June - around the 20th hopefully. Can't wait to get to know you all and hear your stories. I've attached a link to my weight loss journey to this point and what lead me to this decision. It also links to my blog - I'm writing abut the entire process. I'm lessoflittlebit on myfitnesspal. Always looking for people going through the same thing I am !

I'm thinking he will put me on something. My BMI is 43 right now...

I had to do 6 months with my doc, but it wasn't specific. I read about folks doing a liquid diet sort of thing right before surgery...that's what I was wondering about... Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I don't think it matters what you lose in the pre-qualification process. They do the waiting game to weed folks out that aren't committed. I didn't lose squat and I'm getting approved!

Good for you for making this decision while you are young! I'm 35 and wish I had done this in my 30s - I've battles weight all of my life. Good luck to you!

Are most of you using HMR shakes? I was on that diet last fall. I actually like the shakes, but with fruit, sugar free fat free pudding, or sugar free syrups. I thought they were tasty...

What is in your pre-op diet? Congrats on the loss - isn't it motivating to know that it's finally going to stay off this time? ????

Wow you look awesome! Congrats and thanks for the motivation!

H! I'm 35 on May 21st and having rny in June. I feel old, too, but I know I've got a new life to look forward to after this!
