Because my BMI was hovering below 40, they told me to lose weight (because of the whole fatty liver thing??) but never gave me a specific amount to lose. Usually they tell folks to lose 20% of their weight. I was actually afraid that Dr. Shah would've declined me when I finally met her because I hadn't lost all that much. I actually gained some, and then lost some. I was not good at pre-op diet. I just tried to follow the pre-op diet in the binder they gave out. But I actually sort of had the "last supper" syndrome where I just wanted to eat every food that I loved before I was banded.
