I'm 3 1/2 weeks away from surgery. I saw my Dr. 2 months ago and advise me to get as closes possible to my normal weight. I have been since then in a nutritional diet combine with vitamins and 65 mg Iron a day and exercising 6 days a week. The results have been great but I still have 15 pounds more to go. I feel great and the results have been positive. My question is: Should I keep going with this diet and exercising until my surgery day even do I will keep losing weight? Thanks for the feedback.
