They have given you sound advice, high protein and low carb will melt the weight right off of you. I have done it several times and each time excess weight melted off, my body may be different than yours but I actually would loose 10lbs easy the first week, granted it was just water weight but that gives you a real example. If you go high protein, low carb and cut out a lot of the fat you should see awesome results quick.

I have to lose 5-10 by next visit with the surgeon, so I'm using iTrackBites. It mimics Weight Watchers programs, but you only have to pay for the app once, rather than a monthly fee. It won't cause drastic loss because it's designed for the gradual loss, but it helps me to not be hangry all the time lol

Waiting to take my 3rd nutrition class july 3 before getting a procedure date, My insurer requires this before they will approve the RNY procedure, which is fairly common from what I have learned. Well, I ended up gaining three pounds, which put me 3 pounds over my starting weight at my first weigh-in for this program. I am so frustrated because I really haven't been eating terribly and I have been exercising. My body literally clings to this weight like its life depends on it, which is why I am going through with the RNY in the first place. I wondered if anyone else has had this problem, or if anyone was approved for the surgery even if they were a little over their starting weight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

collins4985 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am going through my pre op stage I've had my ekg done my clearance from my pcp as well im just waiting to complete my 3rd nutrition class. Was anyone surgeon big on weight loss or gain before surgery because ive gained 5 pounds over the last two months im hoping that it wont delay surgery approval. they wont contact insurance until im complete with these classes so im just technically in a waiting stage.
