I did not get my surgery yet, however, my doctor is ready to send his letter to the insurance company for approval. Unfortunately, my insurace requires that I lose six more pounds so my doctor is waiting until I can lose the weight prior to submitting. HELP! I have six more pounds to go and I am struggling. I am eating very low carb, low fat, and high protein. I am also exercising two times a day. Any suggestions on how I can get these resistant pounds off so I can get a date scheduled?!?!?:smile:

Try doing the pre-op diet to lose those pounds. Mine was up to 5 slimfast shakes a day and only 2 cups of veggies (NO corn, pea, potatoes) and NO fat! It's a bit hard in the beginning, but when you see the weight come off, it's worth it. I kept to 3 slimfast a day and ate cucumbers and tomatoes at dinner. You do get sick of the shakes, but again, when you see the weight come off..... I lost 18 pounds in 2 weeks on the pre-op diet.

Good luck!

ok, I wouldn't consider this real weight loss, because it wouldn't really be fat lost, but you could go to a health food store and buy one of those body cleanses, it will clean you out and you will lose weight, if your goal is just a quick 6 lbs it might just do the trick :smile: I think most of them you take for like 2 weeks. Good Luck!

First of all...I love your the festivus! You must be a fellow Seinfeld fan. Thanks for the advice. I started a really low fat, low carb, high Protein diet last Thursday and I am down 6 pounds...4 more to go! I have been staying away from the corn, peas, potatoes as you said. It really does work. I also have been working out like a mad woman.

PS...my family does a festivus celebration every year so we can have airing of grievances.
