Update and Questions

 Dr. Zimmerman approved me for surgery, yay!  I meet with the nutritionist tommorrow.    I started recording my food intake on Sunday and when I looked at my fat and carb intake and I was shoked, so I decided I was going to change my eating habits now so it would be second nature after the band.  (Hopefully)  For those who have Dr. Roye and band did you do a preop diet? If so what did it consist of? Did he give you a specific amount of weight to lose? (I want to get a head start) Thanks Jamie

He does not make you diet, just dont gain any weight.  He is VERY strict about that.  He of course would love it if you would lose a few pounds.  That will be better for you in the long run.  I would NOT reccommend doing liquids before surgery if you dont have to.  Believe me, you are going to be so sick of them after.  Try to eat some good protein, watch your fat and carb intake and start drinking LOTS of water.  You should do fine. Good Luck, Jen

Thanks for replying Jen.

congrats!!  my abg and pulmonary function are tomorrow- I will be glad to be done with being stressed about those.

Thanks and good luck tomorrow!

Just wanted to pop in and say Congrat's  on your Psych eval. For the diet, he doesn't require one, just don't gain... if you do, no surgery will take place.
