So, my dr's office didn't submit one requirement to insurance which will delay my surgery by 10 weeks. I was given the pre-op diet to lose 5 lbs. Would you stay on the pre-op or wait 5 weeks to start it?

I would cut back on your calories prior to your pre-op diet. I cut back on my calories a month prior, it has helped my in tolerating my 2 week pre-op diet consisting of 2 protein shakes and 6 oz of lean protein and a cup of veggies. I am not hungry between my meals. I also added the protein shakes to my diet a month prior. On pre-op diet you will feel a little more fatigued than normal. Good luck and time will fly by.
