How much weight did you drop before surgery? I guess pre-op/day of surgery from highest...

When my surgery was scheduled  days out they asked me to lose 20 pounds.   I did 2 protein drinks and a lean & green up until 5 days before surgery when I was switched to a liquid diet. I managed to go from 280 to 260 on the day of surgery. I was completey shocked when they said I could have a real meal the night before surgery.  I couldn't eat much, but I enjoyed almost 1/2 a hamburger with mushrooms and even had 4 french fries! 

 I am glad I gave myself a good start - my surgery went perfectly and I have bounced back quicker than any other wls patient on the ward.  Maybe I would have anyway, but I wanted to start off on the right foot.

Best of luck to you!!

I was not required to lose weight before either surgery (RNY or my revision to DS).

BUT, however............ I did add protein drinks, a minimum of 2 per day 3 months prior to my 2002 RNY surgery, and I lost 17 pounds without changing ANYTHING else!!!!!!!
