Hello pre-opers,

I am nine post-op and I have lost 40 pounds in 22 days! That is right. My plan is to lose 50 pounds in a month. So is it worth it? YES!!!!!!! At the same time, I have this online forum, a monthly support group and I am exercising. So it is not foolproof, I have found you have to put some work into it. Believe in yourself!

Disneytech is totally right! To be successful, each of us works hard to accomplish our goals.

It's good that there are folks out there like Disneytech that can lose the weight pre-op. As for myself' date=' two weeks on a no-carb diet, some exercise when my gout hasn't been a concern, and I've managed to drop about 4 Lbs.

Some of us aren't quite as lucky when it comes to the pre-op weight loss. So definitely do it if you can.[/quote']

Actually, I couldn't lose weight doing the no carb diet. Instead I followed the doctor's pre-op diet of Soup, Protein shakes, Jello, Popsicles and liquids. That is how I lost weight. As a diabetic, I found that my body needs carbs and refuses to lose weight without a different diet. Did your doctor give you a two week pre-op diet?
