Hi has anyone been advised to lose weight before their op? If so I was wondering what was your starting and ending weight.

      I was quite overweight but I suppose as I had a vaginal hysterectomy that might have made a difference? I don't know.

    Hello,

    I wasn't advised to lose weight BUT I did start eating healthier and prepping my body for the change of diet for the first two weeks at least. I suffer from mild constipation, so post op all I ate was soup and salads. With that said I lost 6lbs in 2 weeks so far.
