If you crash diet, you could lose it fast, and then possibly gain it before you surgery. I would think if you could use some protein shakes/drinks to help curb hunger, and keep you full longer that may give you more success. Also, steer clear of white carbs. They can cause hunger and cravings. So, try to stick to protein foods, meats, cheese, greek yogurt, salads (to get some fiber so you don't get constipated), grill or bake chicken breasts use them for chicken salad, or make a thick stew with veggies other than potatoes.

If you want potatoes, try a baked sweet potato. I hated them pre-op, but they actually are really great and full of vitamins.

I know it's tough to lose pre-op, but you can do it.

Hang in there. Once you get the sleeve, it will be much easier.
