I would do low card everything high protein and always what I did was have my Dr prescribe phentamen lol however u spell it. And that was 6 days before my last nut app and I lost 12lbs.

oh my god this is so stressful im at work crying I don't know what to do im on a low sugar low carb diet and it said I lost 2 pound then said I gained 3 all I 1 day

Drink lots of water. Do liquid only till ur apt and see if u can get some phentamean

Do the pre op diet. It should work for you because you have a month. I drank 2-3 Protein shakes, an apple 2x a day, one meal of 6 oz of lean meat and green veggies. I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Some people lose faster. I have aetna and I was told no weight gain. They told me only aetna patients have to worry about that. My first visit I weighed in at 253 and then my next one I was 256. I panicked and cut down tremendously. I was at 249 when they submitted for insurance approval. I did not lost a lot of weight, but it was not a gain.

So you got approved even with gain on one appt?

yes, I got approved with the gain on record only because by the time they were ready to submit to insurance, I had lost a few lbs.

Yes actually I have Aetna sad I had gained weight. And YES you do need to lose theeeight you put on plus an extra 5. I had 24 lbs to lose in 29 days. I did it. It's possible. And yes I did it by starvation
