I am concerned that I will not be able to lose as much weight as I need before surgery. I am scheduled for surgery May 25th in TJ with Dr. Ortiz & have only lost 2 pounds. Has everyone lost the weight before surgery? If so, how? I don't want my surgery to be put off because I have not lost as much weight as I should have! I am following the recommended diet but the pounds are just not coming off. Any suggestions?:hungry:

Hello Cookgal,

Wow, this is making me a little nervous also. I will be banded on 6-7-06 by Dr.Kuri in TJ, Mx. I was told that I needed to do the Adkins Diet just so that my organs will shrink. It's called the Liver shrinking diet. Are you sure that your not trying to do that(shrink organs)?

I'm sure you know what your doing, just a thought!

Good luck

What are you eating? How much are you trying to lose?
