My surgery is Tuesday and I have been on the pre op diet for almost 2 weeks. My surgeon has you eat 6 protein supplements a day (shakes, bats, etc). When I went by their office on Monday their scale said I have lost 10 pounds but yesterday I tried to put on my jeans and they wouldn't even zip. Now I admi I have strayed a couple times from the diet, but nothing horrible (no fast food, etc) and even so I have been STARVING for almost 2 weeks!!! I just don't get it and I want to cry!! I am scared I will get to the hospital on Tuesday and they will refuse to do the surgery. What could be going on?????

They won't deny you the surgery!!
My doc asked if I lost weight for him , as I was all hooked up ready to go into surgery and I said sure did....well I DIDN'T...I tried to tell them the liquid diet they had me on was more cals than I normally ate.
If you are at the hospital , and hooked up to the IV , they are not going to stop a money making surgery UNLESS they felt something was undo danger to you

My surgeon has turned people away if they are a pound over goal weight but I think that is because we didn't have to do the pre op liquid diet. I've been told that you can gain 5-7lbs during menstration. If its been hot that can make you bloat. Maybe you had a little too much salt??? It could be anything. I wouldn't worry too much. Do you have to loose a certain amount before surgery?

My friend gained weight on the pre-op diet. She really needed to lose it.
The nurse was a total ***** to her about it.
The doctor still did the surgery.
