Weight loss plateau

[bdroubay 13]

I am 3 pounds from my goal weight. I still have 6 weeks to lose it before I see my surgeon, but I have been stuck for 2 weeks. What can I do. I can’t loose this opportunity.

Sounds like a good time to add an hour swim to your routine at least five days per week.

Swimming will tighten and tone you as you stick to your diet.

If you can go longer than an hour, then so much better.

Will your surgeon not see you until you've hit that goal?

I'm not sure what your current diet looks like but reduce your carbs if you haven't done so already! Maybe intensify your workout routine. Walk, walk, walk! 3lbs in 6 weeks? That's a walk in the park. You got this!!!

i agree with cutting out carbs. Just lean Protein and fresh veggies. And increase Water intake if you can.

Switching up exercise routines help as well.

Thank you for the suggestion.

They will see me, but my surgery is scheduled and if I am not at the goal weight at my pre-op appointment they will cancel my surgery.

Thank you. I am nervous and excited. I have been trying to have surgery for 3 years and finally have insurance that will cover it so I don’t want to screw it up.

Thank you. Carbs are going away today.

Wow, they're strict! Good luck. You should still have plenty of time, but sheesh! Pressure!

Liquid diet 2-3 days prior to seeing the surgeon (only Protein Shakes , coffee tea Water ) like the one they will put you on just prior to surgery
