I got my surgery date October 11
mzsantiago88 replied to Missytee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
10/4 for me [emoji1380][emoji1380] I have also read that but I strongly believe it's due to returning to poor eating habits and little to no exercise surgery is a tool for success and not the only factor and some people fail to realize that my aunt had the surgery done 10 years ago and she's rained a slender 120 lbs but she walks everyday and continues to follow a low Calorie diet if she wants McDonald's she goes for the "kids meal" and not the Big Mac and large fries [emoji489] make good choices and success will be in your future congrats to you and many blessings [emoji324] -

mzsantiago88 replied to amb052492's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you send me your email I can send you the diet my doctor gave me which allows one snack per day and it gives an entire list as you I've started my low carb diet my surgery is less than 2 weeks away yay -
My doc said it's a hospital liquid diet that il be on starting Monday - sugar free jello , broth , sugar free Icys and a low calorie juice and lots of water he also said to buy a bag of ice from sonic and eat that when I feel hungry as it will trick my body into thinking I'm eating I hope this helped
