Time is passing rapidly
Ok my RNY surgery is just around the corner 47 days to be exact. have lost almost thirty pounds so far. Is it normal to lose this much before surgery? I am on a high protein low card diet. I have cut out all diet sodas and only use Stevia or Truvia to sweeten my tea. Eating five times a day. I still crave a dessert, but, replace it with a health snack, but with the holidays upon us it is increasingly harder. I am so worried that they won't do the surgery if I stop losing! Any Advice on any of this would be appreciated.
As long as you don't get higher than your starting weight, you'll be fine. They say the weight loss before the surgery is mainly to assist with your recovery period but not necessary. If your Dr. didn't tell you that you HAVE to lose weight, you should be ok. And Congrats! I am pre-op and my goal is to lose 30 before my surgery.
Keep doing what you've been doing. The more work you do now, the easier it will be after surgery to reach your goal.
