That is all standing between me and my surgery date. My next appointment to weigh in is Thursday 10/31. I have 5 days to lose 6lbs. I'm at 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. Any suggestions to help make weight would be appreciated! I have pcos so the weight sticks. If it matters Im 5'2" 233lbs.

Drink lots and lots of Water. Step up your exercise with a lot more cardio

Starvation brings on stupidity!

Ok 2 weeks, 6 pounds. Seriously it takes me a year to lose 5!

Could you do the liquid diet that many folks do pre-op? It could be a test run for you and you'll likely lose weight.

My final weigh in is this Monday. I have been on water and protein shakes since Wednesday. Not pleasant but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Good luck with those 6 pounds, try all water and protein shakes.

I was on all protein and under 20 carbs a day for the two weeks before surgery and lost 17lbs. And I do not lose weight easily, even after surgery.

I am on 2 shakes and a lean cuisine or salad w chicken for supper. Been doing that for a week. The scale hasnt moved. I guess I need to up the exercise. Idk

Lean cuisines have a ton of sodium. Eat clean Protein (grilled chicken, fish). Stay away from the box... I love them too but salt is too high.

Update, I was able to drop 3 out of the 6. They took mercy on me and cleared me to meet with the surgeon. Working to drop the last 3 by that visit. This is solo hard but a good reminder of why I'm doing this.
