Almost there

[Joe 14]

Hi Everyone

I will be having surgery on Dec 13,. When I went to the doctors office back in sept he wanted me to lose 19 lbs before surgery. As of today i have 5 more lbs to lose to meet my surgery weight. I would like to lose the 5 lbs before I see him on the 12th. Anyone out there have any tips?

I have been on a low cab/ liquid diet.

Thanks

Joe

Hey Joe !!!

Congratulations on the surgery date and losing 14 lbs so far. Well, since your on low carb/liquid diet, you might want to check on your calories. See just how many you are eating a day and lower it a bit. Like if your at 2000, try 1800. Drink lots and lots of Water and try walking around more for exercise. That'll be it from me

NICE BIKE HANDSOME

Joe, I had to lose 17 for my doctor, then an additional 6 for my insurance co. to cover. I spent a few days just drinking protien drinks (I use sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast, fat free milk and a scoop of Unjury protien powder). Not too thrilling, but it helped get the few remaining pounds off.

Hi Joe,

Looks like we'll be going through this together. I am being banded the same day. I can usually drop 5-9lbs the first week of doing weight watchers. If you can get a hold of a book, you could follow it on your own for the next week..that's what I have to do to lose these 3 pesky holiday pounds. Good luck! See you in bandland!

Lots of liquids and exercise is your best bet!! Best of Luck!!
