Weight loss prior to meeting the surgeon

[noellegz1 5]

Hi everyone. I'm required to loose 10-20 lbs prior to meeting with the surgeon. I'm suppose to have an appt and I'm so worried I won't be able to

Loose weight and it will delay my surgery date. Any advice? Should I just do a detox a month or a few week prior just to make sure? Any advice will help.

Thanks!

Have you had your meeting with your dietician? There is a simple formula to losing weight, you must expend more calories than you take in. Now if it were that easy I wouldn't be overweight myself . If possible I would start with your dietician, they have sooooooo much information and they can tailor a diet that works best for you. Good Luck

For my insurance I'm not required to meet with a dietician :-/ I have to do 12 weeks of classes which are to prepare you for surgery and eating after surgery

So who's teaching the classes to prepare you to eat after surgery? They can't provide you information on healthy eating for now?
