Operation booked but questions unanswered
Hi all
I am new to this. Lap band surgery booked for 4 weeks time but I am worried. Can anyone offer any light on the following:-
- what happens if you cannot stick to the 2 week liquid diet pre-op? I am really worried about it, not sure I can do it.
- everyone on this site keeps talking about protein but I am a vegetarian (hence carbs the main staple of my diet) so I am very worried about how i can eat after the op based on the recommended high protein, no carb diet.
- most importantly, I am not clear how much weight i can expect to lose. I reads it is 50% of my excess weight but i don't understand this. If my food intake is restricted long term and i eat less calories then I spend, why would my weight loss not take me down to a regular, non overweight size?
any offers, please help, my head is spinning.
