Really need some help Desparate :(

When I asked the NOSC if there was a certain amount of weight I need to loose they said no, I went to see my consultant on the 24th sept & weighed 108.9 kgs,

fast foward to today when I went for my pre op tests & was weighed at 106.4, she told me I needed to loose at least 6kg if I was to have the op, I tried to explain to her that I have been on a strict diet since the beginning of september & have lost 10kgs so far but she just ignored that, I understand if you hadn't been on any sort of diet its going to be reasonably easy to loose a 6kg in a couple of weeks but surely not after loosing 10kg in 6 weeks?

Now I feel awful & just know know how I am going to loose another 4kg in 6 days :cry:

Don't fret just carry on its upto the surgeon. xx

If your doing the pre op diet, you can easily lose that in the next 6 days. How insensitive she was! Try not to dwell on it and stay focussed on the end goal

Well what is even more confusing is that I have been given two post op diets! one from the NOSC which goes as follows, 1 week fluids only, 3/4 weeks of pureed foods then on to solid foods starting with minced meat then lean meats etc
all sounds fairly sensible,

Then today the hospital sheet goes 4 weeks fluid then straight on to normal food which really doesn't sound right at all!
