Hello everyone in new here. My name is Brittney and I'm set to be sleeved on the 14th of September. I'm nervous because I feel I did what I'm suppose to and needed to but I'm up 3 pounds from my initial appointment. My doctor will not do surgery if you've gained. What are some tips I can do to get the pounds off?

@@Monet08 I too am worried about that. I haven't gained since my original assessment but I'm not down to the goal he originally set.

Last Monday I cut out all carbs, alcohol, and really upped my Water intake. I'm having a small Protein rich Breakfast, half a Protein Drink as a morning snack, a really light lunch (sometimes just more protein drink), raw veggies for an afternoon snack (and for the fiber) and a super light dinner. Protein and cooked veggie only. I lost 2 pounds. That's something but this is really difficult. I just want to get to my last appointment before the surgery and weigh in.

By the way, I'm also scheduled for September 14th.

@@Monet08 I am one week post-op from gastric sleeve surgery. I too was worried about that. The main thing I did was focus on the two week liver shrinking diet before surgery. Get your Protein shakes in and drink lots of Water. Follow the diet exactly as it is written and it will work!!
