I am new from Baltimore, having sleeve done at Sinai Hospital with Dr Li. I do not have to go through the 6 month wait. I have completed my labs. I am scheduled for my sleep study on Saturday. I have the psych consult, EKG with Cardiac eval, abdomen ultrasound, chest X-ray, per-op class, and weigh in all scheduled on the 14th of March. I need to lose 10 pounds. I am very concerned about being able to lose the 10 pounds. I have a 2 week liquid pre op diet but no surgery dated scheduled as of yet. I need suggestions on how to lose the 10 pounds. Please help!!!!

Good luck to you!! You can do it!! I was sleeved on feb25th and its been slightly rough as in a baby!! Lol but it's sooo worth it!!

Just follow what your dr recommends and IF there is no prediet listen I'd do Atkins... U can see info online--- very low cal and low carb and then IF u can drink lots---- at least 60oz Water daily no drugs alcohol sugar cigarettes or carbonated beverages -- if u can do liquid diet Lucerne hunger snart shakes premade at Walmart or drug stores like Walgreens was good for me pre op and At GNC there is Isopure premade drinks like Gatorade very pricy but I liked them

Good luck

Thank you so much. I bought Atkins bars for Snacks and the premade Isopure drinks so far. So very excited. How much have you lost so far?

Dr li did my surgery too, she was great. I only lost like 2 lbs preop when she told me to lose 10. I just did calories in calories out method. She is great, she wants the weight loss just to shrink the liver some.

Well I'm 16 days postop and didn't even have to do the two week liquid diet. I lose 14 pounds preop but before surgery gained 4 pounds of Water weight due to cycle. So far I went from 232 to 208, and Dr Li was fantastic. I love her and am so grateful.
