Pre-op diet and weight loss prior to surgery

[Sarah8714 2]

I was wondering if anyone else is struggling with their pre-op diet. I have been so good and following this diet but after 1 week I don't see a big difference. All of the scales I have weighed on are different readings. My home scale and the dr office scale was +/- 5 lbs. I am so afraid that if I dont loose any weight he wont do the surgery. I was thinking of turning in my H&P and lab work directly to his office tomorrow so that I could jump on the scale and figure out the difference between the two. :biggrin:

Is your doctor requiring you to lose weight? Unless he specifically instructed you to lose weight, that's really not what the pre-op diet is for.
