if your surgeon wants you to do a "cleansing", they will tell you what you need to do. I didn't have to do anything, but every surgeon is different. Just keep doing what you think is better than what you WERE doing until you meet with your surgeon. He/She will tell you if you are supposed to do a pre-op liquid diet, or lose X% before your surgery.
And make sure you tell your surgeon what your highest weight was and that you've already lost some!

Catherine...welcome to the website!! I hope all goes well with you getting things scheduled.
I would hold off regarding the cleansing..it will on be water weight that you will loose, and quite frankly it can really jack up your electrolytes pretty badly if your not careful. I would wait and speak to your physician before you go to that extreme..
good luck in the process and keep us posted!
