I need a mentor

[Dylhansmom 1]

I have been to almost all pre op classes and meetings. I am having trouble with pre op weight loss. I need help. Obviously I cannot do it on my own that is why I am opting for surgery but the surgeons office does not seem very helpful in helping to lose weight before surgery just telling me i need to. I have actually gained 8 pounds since the consult.

Hi dylhansmom, I struggled as well with the pre op diet. I lost about 10 pounds overall, but it was not easy. I drank a lot of Protein shakes, and tried to cut way back on carbs of any sort. By the way, I am one month post op, and feel great! I'm really sorry your Drs office isn't being more helpful. Mine gave me great tips on what to eat and not to eat. If I can find where I put them, I would be happy to email them to you, if you would like.
