anyone not lose...

okay so im freaking out...(breath aisha) lol i went to the doctor on the 5th, he put me on this diet. im still adjusting to eat, fighting my food demands, eating stuff i shouldnt feeling guilty later! c'mon we all know what this is like! i am trying to stay motivated, packing my lunch today to try to stay on point. but HAVE ANY OF YOU GUYS NOT LOSS ON YOUR PRE-OPERATIVE DIETS? NOT THE OPTI-FAST BUT THE DIET YOUR NUT PUT YOU ON? JUST WONDERING

THANKS
AISHA  TRYING TO THINK POSITIVE (PRAY FOR ME YOU GUYS :) )

I didn't lose that much. They tend to be strict about the pre-op diet, so you probably have to lose something. anyway, here's how I went about it (and still do):

Deep breath, as you said :) Try to manage the stress in your life so you're not eating to relieve stress. Try to NEVER feel guilty about what you eat, but do keep a food log and track your calorie intake. If you eat something you "shouldn't", write it down and adjust what you're eating the rest of the day to make up for it.

If you feel like you're starving, then you should actually eat a little more. You want to feel like you're just barely hungry. Slow down when you're eating and ask yourself between every bite if you are feeling hunger pangs at that moment. Try to talk to someone while you eat so it takes a good 15-20 minutes to finish one plate. Then exercise - which will bring your body into a calorie deficit where hopefully you'll lose some weight.

 i actually gained weight and still got approved. and my drs finally believed me that no matter what i did i continued to gain weight. (i gained about 10-15 pounds in the year i had started the pre-op process to when my date actually was). 

i wasnt required to lose any weight before surgery, my surgeon said it would be a good idea but didnt say it would be the end if i didnt. I ended up gaining a couple pounds because i had severe last supper syndrome.....for a week  lol
