Final 12 Days before Surgery

[Serenity141 53]

I'm officially scheduled for Sept 27 - In 12 days the Dr said I have to loose 10 lbs - Holy Crap Can I do this ? Help what should I do ? Will they cancel my surgery if I don't loose the weight ?

I would do the liquid diet. 3-4 Protein shakes a day, lots of Water. sugar free drinks no caffeine. That should help you lose and help shrink your liver. Hope this helps having my surgery on 27th also dr did not say to lose weight just start liquid diet on the 18th.

Good luck

I don't have an exact date yet, but surgery is about three or so weeks away. My doctor had me start the pre op diet Monday. Six days in and I've lost 13 pounds!!

My pre op diet is two Protein shakes a day, and one SMALL meal of 4 ounces of a lean meat and two cups of non-starchy veggies. And of course lots of water!!!!

I'm having RNY on the 26th. I started my preop diet on the 13th. It was difficult at first. I now understand head hunger. Now, 5 days in, I really don't get it anymore. Good luck to you all that are just starting it! See y'all on the Loser's Bench!

I am having surgery on Thursday 9/22.

I am currently in my pre op diet, which has been SOOOO hard. I'm just hungry and I want everything I can't have. I wasn't told I had to lose any weight before surgery, but that my diet was to help shrink my liver and was better for a healthier surgery. I have been doing okay, but I am using MyFitnessPal App, to track what I eat and all of the nutritional info. Well, every time I turn around its telling me I have had too many carbs. So it's hard. Does anyone know what our goal for crabs and sugar is per day?
