I have been told the only diet I need to follow is to cut out sugar and fat but can carry on eating as much as I do (just 24hr liquid before op ) Having seen everyone talk about low carb high Protein or even all liquid diets im wondering if this will make recovery harder has anyone else followed a similar pre op please Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am worried about this too I never suffered with high blood pressure but I had a reading of 160/110 by a midwife at work (I'm not pregnant I just asked her to do it quick between her appointments) she told me to come back later and it was 135/92 not on any meds for it but been suffering with headaches recently will this stop surgery or if I go to docs will he give needs to lower this I have cut out salt and caffeine since this reading (4days ago) so hopefully that will go some way to lowering it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
