That is all standing between me and my surgery date. My next appointment to weigh in is Thursday 10/31. I have 5 days to lose 6lbs. I'm at 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. Any suggestions to help make weight would be appreciated! I have pcos so the weight sticks. If it matters Im 5'2" 233lbs.

Ok 2 weeks' date=' 6 pounds. Seriously it takes me a year to lose 5![/quote']

Could you do the liquid diet that many folks do pre-op? It could be a test run for you and you'll likely lose weight.

I was on all Protein and under 20 carbs a day for the two weeks before surgery and lost 17lbs. And I do not lose weight easily, even after surgery.

I am on 2 shakes and a lean cuisine or salad w chicken for supper. Been doing that for a week. The scale hasnt moved. I guess I need to up the exercise. Idk

Lean cuisines have a ton of sodium. Eat clean Protein (grilled chicken, fish). Stay away from the box... I love them too but salt is too high.

Update, I was able to drop 3 out of the 6. They took mercy on me and cleared me to meet with the surgeon. Working to drop the last 3 by that visit. This is solo hard but a good reminder of why I'm doing this.

      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?

      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.
