I've read where people say they've lost that much during the pre-op diet. Maybe you can test your "will power" a little early?

Protein 60-80grams per day (2-3shakes)

At least 64 ounces of Water daily

Clear liquids- all you want but no sugars (Jello, popsicles, low sodium broths, no caffeine teas, lemon water w/ cayenne pepper pinch, etc)

All the leafy green veggies you want

*on rough days add 3oz meat protein to dinner (tilapia, salmon, lean meats, etc)

Eat protein first during meals, drink shakes to "feel full', drink fluids all day.

I was just denied by Aetna due to weight gain. My doctor did a peer to peer appeal and they didnt overturn it. So Im waiting to see what the doctor says and whats my next step. I started birth control around the same time I went for my initial visit and I think that is the main reason that I had a lot of weight gain.

So sorry to hear about your denial. Hope everything works out. Keep us updated.

Make sure your Protein shakes have low carbs/ high protein... I hear Atkins shakes are low carb.. Good luck

A total weight gain? Like you weighed more at your final weigh in than you did when you started? Or did you gain a pound or so while doing your weigh ins?

I started my consulation in May and my first weigh in was at 225. Around the same time I got on birth control. I delayed going to my doctor because I wasnt sure if I was going to do it. When I went back in late July I had gained like 12 lbs. It was so hard to lose it during my pre-diet. My last weigh in was at 242.

Did u get approvaed

@@Qujazmaine Yes as someone else said make sure to use low carb Protein shakes.....I didn't like the Atkins brand but Walmart has some good ones EAS Carb advantage I think was the name.....If I were you I'd stick to three shakes a day and a very low carb meal at dinner time....something like grilled chicken and green Beans........Make sure to not have any bread, sugar or starchy veggies and drink lots and lots of Water. You will be amazed at how fast those 12 pounds come off! Good luck!!
