My surgery date is 2/24/2015. I am starting at 306 lbs./ BMI 49.5 I was not required to lose any weight prior to surgery EXCEPT that I am supposed to do a diet the 2 weeks prior to the surgery. And I am doing it, but I have searched this site and the web and so far I am seeing no other diets looking like mine.
My diet is 1500 calories a day and low fat. As I look around at other people's diets, even though there is a range of diet restrictions, my "restrictions" look very relaxed and my caloric intake is way higher than most people on this restrictive phase.
The whole purpose of this is to shrink my liver etc to make surgery safer and easier to do it laproscopically. Now, I am freaking out because I am wondering if my diet is actually going to do that. From what I am gathering, people are saying the restrictions it takes to get everything shrunk is way more restrictive than mine.
Any thoughts on this?
