You've got to be kidding!

Mar 05, 2012

So today was my pre-surgical appointment with the PA and a product check.  I've been on Dr. Kemmeter's pre-op diet now for 9 days and was expecting to lose some weight.

So I go in, step on the scale...and I've lost a measly 5 pounds!  5 pounds, I was devastated.  I have been following this diet to the word, no cheating, lots of water, ONLY product and taking my vitamins.  5 pounds.  I was hoping for 10, maybe 15.  This diet is a high protein, low carb/fat/calorie diet.  I am restricted to 800-900 calories and drinking 64oz of water per day.

I almost burst into tears at the physician's office because I was so, so disappointed.  The PA I saw was aware that I was really disappointed that I hadn't lost more weight, he just simply said that I may be the type of person that loses weight slow and steady and that he was not disappointed with my progress.

Either way, my surgery is still a go for next Monday.  I got my labs drawn and so I am ready to go.  I will continue to follow the diet until Sunday evening, then it's nothing after 6PM.
