June sleeve. A little shaky!

[DinaJuneSleever 33]

Hello everyone! Im new to the group. I don't know what going to happen if I don't get the 8 lbs off by June 1st . That's the date I schedule my surgery. I did my 6 month trial. But while during the 6 months trail my asthma flared up and I was put on steroids and I gained. But the dietary nurse wasn't trying to hear it. She said get the weight off. My health depend on this sleeve.

8 lbs in a week is going to be tough. The only way I know of is liquid fast. 3 Protein Shakes a day & that's it. You'll get all the nutrition you'll need. And walk everyday. 3 miles if you can. At least 1 & do it every day. I did a 2 week liquid fast using Premier Protein shakes. Hardest thing I've ever done but I lost 35 lbs in 2 weeks. Good Luck

I'm 2 years post op & have lost 185 lbs

Not sure what your current diet is, but I lost 3 pounds in a 6 day clear liquid only diet and another 3 pounds just last night after taking the required magnesium citrate drink. This was all the 1 week preop diet requirement for me as my surgery is this morning. Maybe something like that will help you. It sucks, but it's a necessary evil if it can get you where you need to be.

I don't get it, are they refusing to do surgery unless you lose 8 pounds by June 1?

[BrandiJo2009 14]

Why do you need to lose 8lbs? During the 6 month process did you have to lose a certain amount of weight in order to get surgery?

That sounds ridiculous! Honestly if that is the case I would continue to lose weight as healthily as I could and push back the surgery. Yes there are ways to lose 8 pounds in a week, but they are unhealthy and I would want to go into surgery as healthy as possible to avoid any setbacks.

Then I would've to do the whole 6 months over again
