Pre Op Weight Gain!!!! Help
Ok so I am still waiting for my surgery date, in fact I am calling them agian tomorrow and hopefully will have one! Now to my problem, I lost my pre op weight and have been pretty much sticking to the same diet that I was doing to lose my weight. Well now it seems that I have gained almost 2 lbs and I can't get lose. In addition to that I am all of a sudden craving and I mean craving all the things I shouldn't have! Any ideas for me? I usually have a protein shake for breakfast and a frozen entree (usually around 250-290 cal) for lunch and various things for dinner. If I get hungry during the day I have sugar free jello or munch on popcorn (70 cal)
I'm in the same boat as you. I need to maintain my weight until the 17th (surgery date). I was up a pound so this weekend dropped the carbs and went to meat and protein shakes. Those frozen entree's are filled with sodium. I bet you'll see a pound or two gone when you let go of them. Eat fresh!
This morning I'm good to go, several pounds below surgery goal.

I too am on what I call the pre-pre-op diet. I don't have a date. I am below my surgery weight they set. I have done all the tests they told me about, I called the coordinator today and find now I have to do another sleep test which I can't get done until March 3rd. grrrrr........I want to get this deal moving and scheduled, oh well I will now have to try to just put my mind in over-drive and keep going. I have to keep my eye on the prize and not falter so there will be no other delays after I do this last sleep test. Keep focused and exercise, exercise, exercise. Our time will come. Keep the faith.
