Approval & surgery date!!!!
Hello all I'm new to this site. I got approved to Lap Gastric Bypass on 1/3/08 and my surgery date is 3/10/08. Needless to say I'm estatic, but I have to lose another 15 Ibs by my pre op appt 2/21/08. So I'll be doing a liquid and low carb diet for that. Then I hope to have a few days to eat some foods I may not eat in a long time before the offical 5 day liquid diet my Dr puts his patients on to srink the liver for better access and deplete glocogen so your body will use it's own fat and not eat your muscle. I'm 28 yrs old 5'4" and weight 266 Ibs. I'm praying to lose around 120 Ibs and get down to 130-140's. I was to wear a size 6 but maintain a 8 for the rest of my life. I have a smaller bone structure so a size 6 will be no problem. Well good luck on your journey!
