Weight Loss Before Op ?

I’m booked in for rhino on 2nd July – I have 2 months!!

Pre op is on the 30th of this month…

I’m 5’3 and weigh around 9st – I’m carrying a spare tire around my waist and my face/arms/legs could be slimmer!!

So technically I need to lose weight anyway…

Are you expected to be at a healthy weight for yourself around op time?

I understand I will be inactive for a while afterwards and am likely to gain more weight (I am an over-eater )

So how much weight should I be losing now in the next 2 months and should I be on a special healthy diet? Or am I okay to keep pigging out on junk food haha? I don’t want to do that by the way!

Thanks xxx

they want you to be at your ideal weight of course but i am not either. I do carry my weight on my legs and love handles though and I just hope it won’t effect my boobs much. I checked older pics when I was leaner and boobs always stayed the same. I already lost a lot since February when I scheduled the op but not as much as I wanted to.

Just stay away from white flour and sugar for the most part.

Yeah perhaps I can just cut out sugar!

And start exercising, obviously

For your height your BMI is in the normal range so I wouldnt worry!

I am very unhealthy though – I live off cheese, chips, curry, pizzas and don’t exercise and I am very sluggish and ill all of the time – so was just wondering if that wasn’t ideal for surgery

Maybe it could be an excuse to eat some healthy food and go to the gym!

I am 5’2 and was 9’9 …. I wanted to lose too before op incase I put on as cant go gym.

I did slim fast and gym or 30 mins excersise a day for 7 week pre op

And was 8’7 on morning of my op

So lost 16lb in 7 week.

It wasn’t that bad and I actually got used to having the slimfast lol

Good luck hunni

Oh and now I’ve had my op I’ve just been eating really healthy …. Plenty of fruit and veg will help you heal xxxx

thank you xxx
