Hi
I know they only advise the liver shrinking diet just b4 surgery but, if you need to lose this stone then why not do the low fat low carb & low sugar one. If you stick to it you will probably lose the stone needed. I lost 13 lbs on the yoghurt and soup diet in 12 days, i was starving but it served its purpose.

Hi MrsDiddles,

My surgery is planned for 17 April so we should both be starting our pre-op diets like **now** !!

My hopsital insist on at least 4 weeks on the pre-op diet (altho I know other hospitals don't always have the same rules.)

I have chosen the food based low carb diet as I figured I will have *enough* of having to live on just liquids / soups / protein shakes etc in the first few weeks post surgery (!!!) so I would prefer to continue to be able to chew (low calorie) food for a few more weeks!

My hospital's food based diet is similar to this:
WLSurgery.com - Weight Loss Surgery Support - View Single Post - Op assessment &starting diet to morrow

The food based diet also has a calorie limit of 1,000 cals per day, so I think weight loss is almost guaranteed !!!
 
hi sharonimo its not my surgery date its my appointment to get my date if i have lost the stone required fingers crossed i do thanks for advice. but good luck with your op and hope to see you on here again i got weighted today been on diet 6 days and gone from 130 to 126 so pleased but not sure what that is in pounds lol x

i got weighted today been on diet 6 days and gone from 130 to 126 so pleased but not sure what that is in pounds lol x

130 Kgs = 286 lbs (20 stone 6 lbs)

126 Kgs = 277 lbs (19 stone 11 lbs)

Therefore you have lost 9 lbs !!!!

Congrats !!!!

what has stopped you from losing this stone in a normal amount of time?
Do you really want the surgery?

You WILL get your date if you lose the stone that is required..so why have you left it to the last minute and possibly jeopardised the date?

If i were you i would be asking these questions to myself, after surgery your going to have to be VERY strict with yourself and food, if you cant do it now, you risk sabotaging the surgery afterwards?

im sorry if im out of turn saying this but the thread has made me think this and of me putting myself in your situation x
 
i wasnt sure about surgery had a few health problems and have realized im ready now and joined slimming world but wasnt moving only moving very slowly so need the boost and the realizem that only i can do this and neede to believe in myself which i havve done in the last month
and no its ok im not offended by your comment i justed realized i can do this i had lost 10lb before i seen the specialist then christmas was pretty good but put weight on and had to lose that then the stone so fingers crossed im going in right direction x
 
Well as long as you working hard at it and you know what you really want then go for it, its a funny time the things we have to weigh up in our minds to have or not to have the surgery, i never thought i would put myself through it but years down the line felt it was the only option left for me to take, here I am 7months post op, you can do it xx
