I’m in SoCal & with kaiser. I just had my consult with the surgeon. He gave me a date for April 9, 2018 but I need to lose 18 pounds before i see him again March 29 or he will be canceling my surgery. Stressed about this because it seems impossible to lose that much in just 2 months. Any tips?

You can do it. Trust me. I seen my Dr and when I seen him in December he told me I had gained 15lbs since I last see him last year well He gave me till Janurey 3rd to lose 5 to 10 pounds and I didn't think I could because of Christmas and New Year's it felt impossible so after Christmas I cut out soda to start and store eating sweets when I went to see him I lost 10lbs and since I started my liquid diet 10 days ago I have lost an additional 15 lbs and I am completely shocked. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I have my Surgery Tuesday and I am beyond excited to see how much I have lost.

I suggest cutting your carbs to 20 grams per day and get your calories around 1200 per day. That's what I did for six months before my surgery and I lost 100 pounds by surgery day.

You can do it, but you have to put food away and make it work for you. Only you can find that strength and perseverance within yourself...

I lost 20lbs in a month by just cutting back and working out. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!

my doc put me on a diet of 2 protein shakes, a 450 cal meal of protein and a green veg, plus broth and sugar free jello if needed and I've lost about 13 pounds in a month. I haven't been perfect on the diet, but it works.

you can definitely do it!!
