New Comer! ????

Ive been researching the GBYpass for about 10 years already. Went to classes and all. I stopped for a long while and didn't go thru with the surgery cuz I was told u can never eat meat again. Well I was told wrong. The beginning of the year I started taking classes and learning about the sleeve. Well let's just say I'm 110% sure on the sleeve. I have my Pre op apt July 3rd and my surgery July 9th. I'm super excited. Anyone got suggestions how to loose weight before the pre op? I lost 7lbs already but still need 7 lbs more. Help pls!!!

Some doctors require a pre-op diet. Mine was supposed to be 650 calories with at least 70 g Protein, less than 60 g carbs & around 15 g of fat per day for 2 weeks before surgery. Different doctors have different plans & some don't have any pre-op plan.

Depending on what your calories are now, I'd suggest lowering your calories somewhat and trying to eat healthier (increase protein) before surgery.

Even if your surgeon doesn't have a pre-op diet, it can't hurt to do one. I've seen many people here that have done their own all-liquid or limited pre-op diet even though they weren't required to do one.

Good luck on your journey! I'm almost 5 weeks out now & couldn't be happier with my decision!
