My thing about losing before surgery is, if you could lose weight without surgery...you wouldn't need surgery....right!! I only had to lose 15 pounds in 6 months and I barely could do that. Be careful and good luck!

My doc didn't require me to lose any weight during my 3 week supervised diet because he knows that I'll lose a bunch during the 6 week pre-op diet. Doing 2 Protein Shakes and a meal with just Protein and greens might help you get it down. But don't have anything in between, drink a lot of water! Throw in a bunch of exercise and it might be doable. I start my 6 week pre-op diet here in a few weeks and I weigh 425 pounds and my surgeon feels I'll lose between 30-40 before my surgery because of what I'll be eating. It does seem like an unreasonable amount of weight but if you can't find another surgeon give it a try.

My insurance requires me to do 3 months Dr. supervised diet for approval and my surgeon said it was possible to lose 100 lbs in 3 months! I just looked at him like he was crazy! I'm sure it's all liquid and stuff. I thought the same thing, if I could lose it on my own, I wouldn't need surgery. But then again, I wouldn't want to be on a liquid diet the rest of my life either!

I would do Protein Drinks that are low in carb and sugar and then one meal a day ie chicken, or fish and a light salad. Make sure you decrease calories and start moving.

      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.
