Hi. I was told I only needed 3months for my insurance and just today I called to see what was taking so long since I was told they submitted last week and am now being told I need 4months. SO, I am going in on Wednesday the 1st to count for my 4th month and she wants me to have lost 5 lbs since they saw me on the 17th. Well, I haven't gained, but didn't know I was supposed to be losing either. (Had not yet started pre-op diet)

Does anyone know of any quick tips to lose a fast 5 to make weight on Wednesday? (nothing unsafe please)

I appreciate any feedback.

@emma88... Think I should just get the pre-op going? Actually, that's sort of obvious so DUH, I should have thought of it lol... Thank you, Emma.. I have 4 days so if I go full pre-op it's a safe diet and should yield some results.. Thanks :)

I agree. The ultra low-carb pre-op diets will drop weight fast, even if some of it is Water weight. 3 Protein drinks and tons of Water. Since this isn't actually your surgery preop liquid diet you could probably add in dinner if you kept it no/low carb. Some chicken/fish with broccoli or green Beans doesn't add too many calories will keep you in ketosis for that rapid loss.

Lots and lots of Water, low sodium, carbs, sugar, calories. I would eat lean meats chicken and fish, & green vegetables. If you need to take something to Empty the Bowles.

I just canceled my April 1st appt so I wonder if they gave it to you lol. Did they say why you need to lose 5 lbs? They have never pressured me to have a certain loss at any appointments.

I agree that doing the pre-op diet is a good idea. I know Banner had a strict one compared to some, so maybe do the two Protein shakes and one low carb sensible meal. Or go full gung-ho with Protein Shakes, Jello and sugar free popsicles. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

@@Okinawa girl .. what is a military diet?


@@Elode ... probably a good idea.. I've not been having BM's so I will ask the pharmacist something safe to get that going. Thanks.

@majorsmama... I was told that by front desk.. she said it would give me my best shot at being prepared for an April slot. So, I do the 3 hour prep class Wednesday morning then go over for final with DrChen and that dreaded weigh in. I'm gonna do my best to make weight. I just dont get how insurance saying 3 months and we were to submit last tuesday now turns into 4months and i have more to do? When things change, I lose faith and get uneasy.

@@MoMo12onTheGo I totally hear ya. Have you lost weight over the course of the last 3 months? I don't understand that 5lb number unless you have not lost any weight the past 90 days. I would be feeling uneasy too and the most frustrating part is that nobody can explain WHY they require the extra appointment. I'm thinking about bringing it up to Dr Chen if I see him at my next appt but I know he doesn't like getting involved in the front office stuff. I just want SOMEONE in a position of power to know that we are frustrated.

@@majorsmama, IF the appointment cancelled is your monthly nutritional appointment, you may have to start over. I'd check beforehand before you miss any.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
