Has anyone not lost weight Preop?

[Tstorm1070 192]

I gained 2 pounds My xase manager called me from my insurance and checks on my after all my appointments and she said that places if any weight is gained they will not do surgery. I am just waiting for my last 30 min class w/nutritionist and then surgeon in same day(Dec is my last one and then surgey in Jan). I am just waiting to get final labs...I had a few Vitamins that were deficient to start and have to get them back up.

So how have you been doing? Does your program say you can't gain weight?

[berthaeaster 20]

They never said they just said wanted my liver to shrink

[Tstorm1070 192]

The clinic never said that to me either. And they didn't say anything about my 2# gain.

well good luck to you

My clinic say no weight gain. I'm freaking out about it as I haven't been good in what I've been eating lately. I gotta get back on track and stop eating myself out of surgery.

[berthaeaster 20]

I have not gained.. but I'm wondering if they wanted me to lose .. I'm doing exactly what was asked of me hope there's no problems!

I start my pre-op tomorrow 3 weeks until surgery. I better lose, I barely get to eat anything. Ugh. Can't believe it's getting so close.

I hve date on 29th start pre op diet tomorrow for two wks b 4 and after surgery nothing but Protein Shakes I am determined not to cheat

My surgeon requires me to lose 5% of my body weight (about 10 lbs) prior to surgery. I have 2 pre-op diet options, either Protein Shakes 3 times a day for 2 weeks then Clear Liquids 3 days pre-op or 2 shakes plus low cal dinner (under 300 cals) a day with the 3 days clear liquid pre-op. This pre-op diet is to get my liver to shrink down to make the surgery easier and safer. My surgery paperwork expressly states that If I gain any weight my surgery will be cancelled!

chris54, only Protein Drinks for 2 weeks??? How many a day? Best of luck to you. I do get a little food, 1 cup veggies, 3 oz fish or chicken, apple, oatmeal and yogurt. I already cheated by having 2 cups of broccoli. It was just in my head, but I saw it and said what is 1 more cup of broccoli going to do. Nothing I'm sure but it wasn't good that I couldn't follow directions for 1 day.
