Your supposed to be on a diet, therefore lose weight, but since your bmi is on the low side of borderline you might want to have an "off the record" conversation with your surgeon about weight loss during this period.

It would suck for you to go gangbusters on the supervised diet and make yourself ineligable.

Mine said if you could loose weight you wouldn't need surgery.

I wish my surgeon understood that! Of course I'm making changes and my weight is slowly dropping. But they want me to like 5 pounds a month!

Old school. The thinking once was that a patient has to "prove" they could lose weight before getting surgery. The exception is if you're to obese for surgery.

The NIH research has shown that pre surgery weight lose programs have no benefit. Find out if you're insurance requires it. Google the research and print it out for your Dr d insurance company.

Yes you can lose weight but I was careful during the 6 months not to lose too much and drop my bmi below 40.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
