Pre-Admission Dilemma

[TrulySlim]

Hi lovelies,

So I've finally got a date for my surgery 16th June 2014... Yayyy!!

Here's the issue I'm faced w/ now...

On my first initial appointment at the hospital I was 143. Something kilos, at my second appointment (last month) I was 137.8kg, currently I'm back up to 141kg :-(

It's been sooo annoying, I slacked for a couple of weeks and that is the result. My pre-admission is in two days, I dunno what they will say!!

I do believe that when I'm on the pre op diet I will hit my 5-10% again (130kg-136.5kg), do you think they will see it like that? Would it affect my surgery date?

Has anyone been in a similar position?

I was 128kg at my first appointment, at my pre assessment I was 136.8kg
I was told don't put on anymore as the surgeons don't like it.

After 2 weeks LSD i was down to 130kg then op cancelled, 2 weeks of milk diet has lost me a total of 2lb :cry: so I'm back on cambridge shakes until my new op appointment next week, see what I weigh then!

You will probably get a stern look & a telling off (at the very least) all areas are different though..... good luck

I hope they will over look it and all allow me to lose during the pre-op diet *fingerscrossed*

I hope they don't hold off your op! I was told here the NHS will cancel you for *any* weight loss. I don't know if it's the same there. But here they're very strict.

Thankfully, I went to my appointment and they didn't say anything. Just have to do pre-op for 3 weeks.... Phew!

 

[AnnieBannie]

Yay good luck!

you can lose weight just fine on the pre op diets, I am back to my original appointment weight now, my op is this Thursday (unless they get cancelled again)

Good luck on Thursday xx

Lucky escape Andie. I have seen a couple of folk get cancelled because they didn't achieve that 10% loss or gained. It's heartbreaking when it happens. Don't rely on the LSD to lose weight either not everyone does but granted most do just not everyone

 

[GeMzY]

I agree Frankie! I have been on liver shrinking now since 7th April (apart from 3 days following first cancellation) & lost 2lb with the hospital suggestion of soup & yoghurt in most of that time it was heart breaking..... went back to meal replacement shakes & have lost 19lb in nearly 2 weeks.

The liver shrinking diets are just that!! to shrink the liver not necessarily to lose weight

Between my surgeon app and my pre op no one commented on my weight. X

My weight was all over the show between all my various pre op appointments but between my pre admittance appointment and surgery day with 2 weeks on the NHS slimfast diet I dropped 6kgs or so which they were happy about. It's about sticking to the diet and shrinking your liver, weightloss is secondary. Keep going, you're doing great! Not long now! X

when i had my op they used the original referral weight on my notes they didnt even check if i had lost or gained though at pre op appointment i had lost from the original referral weight
