Hi, I had Dr. De la Torre as well....AWESOME DR! I had my surgery 1 year ago on the very same day you'll be having yours--July 7! I lost around 12-14 lbs on my 2 week pre-op without doing a ton of exercise either, although I've heard that ppl who do more exercise b4 surgery have a little better recovery.
One piece of advice I offer is that you drink LOTS and LOTS of water. I shot for a GALLON a day, plus other liquids..all I wanted of sf jello, sf popsicles, broth, sf tea, Crystal Light, Special K Protien Water, etc. If I felt like I was going to lose my mind completely, I kept FF, Low Carb Yogurt on hand and I would only take 1 or 2 SMALL bites and keep them in my mouth as long as I could. It would fake my brain into thinking it had had something. (Now, I don't PROMOTE this....this is just what worked for me to keep me, personally, from breaking over and eating something REALLY BAD!). If you stick to your pre-op, you WILL LOSE the necessary weight! It's NOT a walk in the park, but will be SO VERY WORTH IT! Dr. D is one of the very best, so you just keep your eyes on the prize girl!!! Best of luck!
