Weight gain before surgery!

Hi All! My surgery date is April 29th and so cannot wait! However I am very concerned about my recent weight gain. I have gained about 7 lbs since I had seen my surgeon. I am now back on a full excerise program and low fat diet, however I am worried that I will not be able to have the surgery because of my 7lb weight gain. Does anyone have any answers......

I did the same thing ...gained 7 lbs. after my initial visit to the surgeon. My RNY is April 18 ,and I was scheduled for my preop physicial with the surgeons NP> I started my preop diet a day earlier and when I went to the surgeon I was down 1lb and1/2. It's important that your liver size is reduced so the chance of the surgeon can avoid knicking it during the surgery. Bottom line is is you want a safer outcome, you'll do what you have to do. It hasn't been that difficult. Good luck...you'll get it together. Susan

I have the same surgery date. My surgeon put me on a three-week liquid diet that I started 6 days ago. I have lost 11 pounds already! I drink protein shakes and can have a few real food items daily, such as cream soup, SF pudding, SF yogurt, etc... I was definitely dreading the day I had to start the liquids, but it hasn't been that bad. Maybe you should call the surgeon or a dietician to talk. Hope this helps! Good luck!
