Losing weight quickly before surgery

Hello, I got all of my approvals for my surgery, just waiting for them to give me a surgery date, I have currently lost 12.5 of my 30 pounds required by my surgeon. I would like to have surgery the week of February 5th, 2017. Any suggestions on how to take off my weight faster before surgery without being hungry? I am excited to get my surgery scheduled and start my new lifestyle! Thanks for your help!

I lost 21 pounds in the three weeks before surgery. I did it by following the liver shrinking diet my doctor gave me for 19 days which allowed only 20 net carbs a day of any food I wanted and then a two day liquid diet. The nice thing about losing weight before surgery is that you don't gain it back.
