Hello Everyone

[Piglet38]

Hi
Im new to posting but have read many of your posts which helped me to get to this stage!

Wow I have finally plucked up the courage to have WLS and Im having my pre assesment on Monday and surgery on Friday. Im soo excited to be able to finally get to a healthy weight for my small frame.
I only have to do my pre op diet for a week which im on at the moment, its just the low calorie one and Im finding it okish just missing my bread! and milky tea but am liking the the scrambled egg!
I was going to make a soup but have read that I shouldnt eat much root veg? does anyone know why as I love my carrots and swede!

Im now counting down the days and can hardly sleep with the excitement!! I have never been in hospital overnight before and thats the only thing thats worring me a bit!
My surgeon said I could be back at work after a few days however reading some posts Im not so sure!

Looking forward to hearing from your experiences and congratulations on all your amazing weightloss! Cant wait to be joining you.

Hi Tania and welcome to WLS, not sure about the root veg, but I know someone will be along shortly who can help you with that one. Take care

Hi Tania

Good luck with the pre-op diet, I'm glad your not finding it too difficult. Root Veg are high in carbs which is why you should avoid them on the pre op so you can get your liver nice and small.

Wishing you all the best for your surgery x

Hi Tania
Welcome, i am a newbie here too, i wish i had found this site months ago, everyone is so helpful and friendly!
Your pre op diet sounds very similar to mine, i will have been doing it for 2 weeks on Tuesday (my op is on Monday) and the first week was fine, the second has tested every ounce of my will power! Hope you are managing ok,

Just wanted to drop a line to say hi and welcome to WLS, hope your surgery goes well and good luck with the pre op diet! x

Hi and welcome.

Good luck with your surgery, and the others are right. The root veg is high in carbs so should be avoided on the liver shrinking diet.
