So i am definitely having my surgery next friday... EEEKKK... :I went in today for my meal planning class and found out i gain a pound.. i was so upset i started crying because i believed this last week and half that i was doing pretty good with what i was eating and i even went to the gym 4x in the past 7 days... SOOO even tho i did not have to do a pre-op diet, i opted to my dietician that i wanted to do it to get these 4lbs i need to get off before the surgey... i think it will also get me ready for the two weeks of full liquids after surgery too.. Tho i think i gain 2lbs because my period finally came back, thank God, i was afraid they was gonna say, "Sorry Koren, but we can't do surgery on a pregnant woman"... that would have been a nightmare... I'm excited and scared now but i have my family members that will be there, even tho some are not that supportive they still understand why i need to have this done...

Congratulations on your surgery date. I'm sure you will do fine. I'm surpised you didn't have to do a preop diet.

When I met with my surgeon I thought it was weird that he really didn't give me a goal for weight loss before the surgery. He told me 5lbs after the nurse mentioned it. I still have to do preop diet one week before the surgery.

Yeah my Dr. was the same way, he didn't even tell me that i had to lose 2% of my body weight before surgery, my Dietician told me that 2 months after seeing him... I was a lil upset but 3lbs isn't that bad... How's your journey going so far? At least you don't have to do a full two week diet.. This Optifast diet so far isnt that bad, everything i have ate so far is pretty darn good, i thought this Tomato Soup was going to be horrible by the way it smelled, but soon as i stuck it in my mouth, my tongue did back flips... lol i think it even tasted better than campbells. Later on for dinner ima see if i get the same reaction with the chicken soup... Good Luck on your Journey to bandland..
