HE DID SAY FOR ME TO LOSE A COUPLE MORE POUNDS BUT THAT WAS IT ...SINCE THEN I'VE LOST ONLY 2. WILL HE CANCEL? I am supposed to receive a call at 3 today to determine what time I'm going to be going into surgery tomorrow

Only he can say for sure, of course.

However, if he literally said to lose "a couple more pounds" then that's exactly what you did. A "couple" is two.

Now, think calming and relaxing thoughts. It won't help you to be all worked up, though I know it's natural to be nervous.

Good luck.

Good luck! I was nervous before my surgery over the same issue. During my 6 month work up to get insurance approval I only lost 4 pounds! When I talked to him about it he looked surprised and said " if you could lose a lot of weight you wouldn't need this surgery". He told me that the more you get off before the easier it is to have a successful laparoscopic procedure. If he said a couple of pounds and you lost two then you should be ok. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
