Hi' date=' first time poster hoping to have surgery with Dr McCluney at St. E's. I loved him from our first meeting. Things are moving pretty fast and I'm hoping for an approval. I have to lose 5% before he will even schedule surgery. I have psych eval and NUT on 9/10 then I'm hoping to submit to insurance.

Any suggestions on how I can lose this weight pre surgery? I'm tracking with MFP but have only lost about 7 of the 14 I need to lose. scale has not moved in almost two weeks. Initial consult was 8/13 and been dieting ever since.

Thanks[/quote']

Hi welcome!

They are so fast. ..My papers was submitted 8/28..I lose 17 pounds, but I had a gallblader surgery last month, and honestly help me with the diet..I use the diet that the Nut gave to me..., but I won't need a pre op diet (liquid)...so, any question I'm here! Are you from PR?
