Congratulations!!! I have a question though... im new to this and my surgeon wants me to lose weight before the surgery. I weigh 260 right now after my consultation. I met with the dr nurse and nutritionist. Is your weight loss of 50lb before and after surgery? Or just after? If so..how much have you lost before surgery, or did your surgeon not require that? Thx!!! Congrats again!!!

Im a newbee and when deciding which surgery to choose ... my surgeon pointed out that the gastric bypass would be best for me because of my history of acid reflux. He suggested that the others were known to cause this.

Thank you for reiterating on the reason why.... it just drives me crazy, is all. I was able to understand it when my surgeon explained it. It's not driving me any less crazy on hearing why again though.... lol... 😫😦 Thanks for the luck... I need it!!

I think sleep studies are a joke.... they wanted me to do one too, and said that it was up to me. I chose not to. I think almost everyone has it to some extent, mine will get better when I lose this weight.

Anyone else's not allowed fruit on the pre op diet? This is also driving me crazy! Plus the fact that I can't have all the water that I want.... ugh!

Yes, they also told me to sip..... I have a hard time with that. I'm trying but it's still my first day. Hopefully I get used to it. Thanks.

Just starting the pre op diet from my surgeon... I drink a lot of water already but I am going to have a problem reducing my water intake... they said not to drink more than 64 oz a day. I already drink way over that. Also they don't want me drinking anything a half hour before, during, and a half hour after eating! That's about an hour and a half with nothing to drink! I've found myself skipping eating so that I can be able to have my water! Any suggestions?
