Just spoke with md, he wants another 10 pounds off by end of the month. I am feeling so hopeless right now. Is this possible to lose this at all in time? After all the hardwork, i Feel like giving up and just calling it quits. I truly feel its a losing battle at this point

Don't, We are all with you. Just dont loose heart. Think about the activities you will restart doing and the old clothes you will wear !

Don't give up just get back on your program and tell yourself you can do it! Even if you don't lose all that he wants you to he will be happy with a loss. I almost postponed mine because I had not lost the amount they wanted me to but I went after encourgement from this site. I was down a few pounds and they were happy with that. It was submitted and I was approved and have my surgery date of jan.22.

Don't get discouraged.

Maybe this is your MD's way of trying to motivate you? Personally, this would have a negative effect for me because I would feel too pressured and probably not try.

My advice is do your best and instead of trying to meet the number goal focus more on practicing new habits (eating right and exercising).

You can do it. Focus and re-group.

YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks everyone for your support! I lost 12.5 pounds and got my date for Jan 16th. Praying for a safe surgery.
