Hello, I got all of my approvals for my surgery, just waiting for them to give me a surgery date, I have currently lost 12.5 of my 30 pounds required by my surgeon. I would like to have surgery the week of February 5th, 2017. Any suggestions on how to take off my weight faster before surgery without being hungry? I am excited to get my surgery scheduled and start my new lifestyle! Thanks for your help!

Start the liver shrink diet, its usually 1,000 cal diet. High Protein, low carb. You will be hungry, regardless.

For sure recommend the liquid diet, it's required before surgery. Mine is 1,000-calorie high Protein, low fat, carbs, cals, etc. It's extremely difficult (at least it was for me) but this is day 7 of my 10-day liquid diet and i've lost close to 20 pounds since the beginning. It's safe and i'd recommend that if you're trying to lose weight quick, safely.

They didn't give me a diet plan. I have been just counting calories and drinking Protein drinks. I have lost 24 pounds since December 1st. I am required to lose 30 pounds pre surgery. I am almost at my goal. My surgery date is February 27th!

Well, I was using premier also, but something in it was making me break out in a rash so now I am using Quest. It's really good and I mix it with Water and it still tastes great.

Yes. Only drawback is that you have to mix it yourself. I haven't found it in a premixed drink anywhere.

I attached the sample pre-op liquid diet i've followed for the past 8 days. I don't have the one my doctor gave me though. I drink Protein shakes that are low in carbs, cals and high in Protein 4 times a day, clear liquid the rest of the day. I did add 1% lowfat cottage cheese because i became weak by day 4.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
