First off, congrats on deciding to make a change in your life!

I would recommend a low carbohydrate diet. Most of us have problems with carbs, and by drastically reducing them, it helps with cravings.

You can start off with 50-75 grams per day. If you see the weight loss stalling, you can cut more (Net carbs).

Look for low carb books and recipes to get ideas.

Eat real food (lots of nonstarchy veggies)

Don't drink your calories

Eat 3 meals and a snack or two.

Spread the carbs out over the day.

Good luck!

I agree with Berry78, low carb is the fastest way to go. Cravings will go away within 3 days. Hung in there!

Thank both of you for responding I'm hoping to see these numbers drop fast

What about following the meals in the military diet it's only 3days but what if I eat that for 2Months

I didnt have to lose 50 in 2 mths but did by following the preop diet on MEXICO BARIATRIC website. Good luck.

On March 15th, I was in exactly the same position as you!! As a matter of fsct, I was supposed to get my surgery date that day a couldn't get scheduled bc I hadn't lost any weight [emoji26] [emoji26]. My Surgeon told me to lose "some" weight and he'll see me in a month. He even told me that because of my current weight, he was recommending me for the sleeve. That was my wake up call! The next day I started on a high protein /low-to no carb restructure (my mind and body doesn't respond well to the word diet).
By my next appointment, I was down 16lbs! I was shooting for 30, but was happy & most importantly, my doctor was elated! I got my surgery date of May 18th! My doctor mentioned that being of a larger size is more riskier for fatty tissues obstructing the RNY so I would also like to lose sugnificantly more weight. Right now I'm doing a high protein shake for both breakfast and lunch and a dinner of protein (meat/fish) and veggies for dinner. If hungry, I snack on SF jello/Popsicles and a few almonds.

My point is, you can definitely lose the weight! Find a program that works for you and try like hell to stick to it! If you don't hit the 50, you doctor may be happy to see "some" weight loss. Good luck on your journey!

Hi, I tried looking for the diet on the ste but couldn't find it [emoji26]. Do you mind posting it? I'm looking to lose more weight before my surgery. Thanks!
