I would suggest hitting the Water alot, walking at least 30 minutes or more and WATCH what you eat! I am in the same boat as you. My doctor said I have to lose 10 lbs or he will cancel mine as well. BUT I know we can do this! (I don't even have a surgery date yet but I am doing the sleep study Monday and after that I'm sure I'll have some news hopefully!) I have the hardest time watching what I eat! But I am determined and I know I can do it if I put my mind to it!! And so can you!! You have a beautful family and I know they are rooting for you!

Look this is soooooo worth it that if for 10lbs you were to miss this huge opportunity well ill consider other choices. I'll be honest I got it done thinking it was going to be easier. Well, it's not. I get it now when they told me is only a tool but you will always remain on a diet. So do it now cuz it gets harder. Sorry but I'm telling u the truth

If you do a low, low carb diet, you can do it. I'm talking anorexic Atkins kind of low, low carb. This will completely deplete your glycogen stores in your body. Glycogen stored in your muscle tissue bonds with Water with a 4 to 1 ratio which means for every pound of glycogen you lose, you will also lose 4 pounds of Water for a net total of 5 pounds. 2 pounds of glycogen lost, you have your 10 pounds. Carbs are easily converted to Glycogen.

This is why those of us who did Atkins always dropped 10 pounds the first week or so, but then couldn't budge.

Queengamz if you don't regularly work out be careful.... You can sometimes gain when you first start working out. I have to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery, yesterday I was down 12 lbs, my surgery is Monday. You can do this....keep your eyes on the prize-a healthy, happy you!!

Do low carb like a mofo! You can do it! Don't let yourself have more than 20 carbs a day and you will lose it forsure!

I would think the doctor telling me that would be enough motivation.

It really comes down to how much you want it.

Go on your Protein Shakes and small salads now. You'll be surprised how fast you'll drop weight, you'll get to try out different shakes to find what you like, and do as much calorie-burning exercise as you can. Above all, be stubborn in your desire for the surgery! I can stick to any diet short term, and a week may seem like an eternity while you're in it, but will be over soon and you'll be on your way to your new sleeve!

10 pounds by December 12th? EASY. Just do a VLCD and stick with it. After the first 4 or 5 days it becomes easy. I'm currently waiting on my Protein to arrive and then I will be doing 800 calories a day until my March surgery date.

My plan is to do three scoops of Protein in fat free milk giving me 110 grams of protein and adequate potassium which is something most multivitimins lack. I'm also taking a prenatal multivitim divided into two doses so I'm taking half the dose in the morning and half the dose in the afternoon. One Vitamin b complex capsule, and one vit d3 tablet with magnesium. I'm also doing one kale/lemon/ginger shot sweetened with stevia per day. I don't recommend this unless you're an experienced juicer. Kale shots can be very hard on the tummy if you're not used to them. Ordinarily I'd put some green apple and an orange with the kale and enjoy it as a yummy juice, but I can't do the carbs right now because I want to be in ketosis.

I've done a 30 day juice fast in the past, and I've also done also a high protein liquid VLCD in the past and I can tell you that it's NOT that bad.. particularly when you have a goal in sight. Once you resign yourself to not eating, it goes easy. You only have to do it for TWO WEEKS... that's NOTHING. You GOT THIS!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
