Rafa3 14 Posted September 4, 2013 Hello, everyone! Is anyone else eating EVERYTHING in sight??? My doc said I don't need a pre-op diet, but he might just change his mind when I see him for my pre-op visit on the 27th. I'm just so bloated from overrating... Between the up coming surgery and school starting, anxiety has gotten the best of me :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have plans every Saturday night this month to go out to eat. I know...I'm terrible!!! Tell me about it, I sometimes stop and try to think of what I can eat now that I won't be able to for a long time BTW, today I went for my chest X-Ray, blood work (11 tubes ), and EKG, then abd. US on the 17th and I'm all done with my pre-op testing. Soooo excited!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigjimskiki 8 Posted September 4, 2013 My surgical group has you go on a pre-op diet to lose 5-10% of total body weight, to show that you are dedicated to making the post-op changes required for long term success. Also they have told us (my sister-in-law) and I are making this journey together) if we gain any before surgery, we are OUT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
