So I have been off track on my preop diet and have an apt with the nut in a week. Any ideas on how to lose 3-5 lbs by Wednesday ? I know not ideal but just bed to get past this apt. Thanks

It's the liver that you need to make lean on this pre op diet. Helps the doc with any complications since the liver is in the way.

How many days till surgery?

There isn't really a way to "cheat" the pre-op diet. It's designed the way it is for a reason...and part of that reason is to get yourself ready for what follows surgery. Following directions is going to become critical, so I'd get your mind in a place where you're able to do that, sooner rather than later. You aren't going to lose any more weight than you will just by following that pre-op diet, short of starving yourself, so just get on the stick and follow it to the letter.

Sorry I shouldn't have said preop. I am just on my 4th out of 6 nut visits and haven't done well this month and wanted to try to lose a few before my apt Wednesday. Some have recommended a liquid diet but I thought I would check here. I understand I need to get on the "stick" but just wanted to get past this apt.

I would just go to your appointment and own up to what you have done. And then I would examine why you haven't done well over the past month and think about what that means to your overall journey. The biggest part of this journey is mental, and the pre-op six-month diet is just as much about beginning to re-establish your relationship with food as it is losing weight.

If you don't work on your relationship with food, the entire journey will be an even bigger struggle than it already is -- surgery or not.

Good luck.

Thank you
