Surgery date february 21, 2005.

I am very excited about surgery date but would like to lose a few pounds before surgery. I have gained a few pounds since the holidays. I would like to lose about 20 I feel that could make recovery even easier. I know how I feel now which is sob when walking and hurting knees and ankles and so I just need to know if some one knows a good temp. diet to help me lose some weight before surgery. Thanks Karen

Congrat. on your date. It's is really hard to lose or maintain during the Holidays. I'm having the same problem but I'm drinking water, water and more water. My date is 2/8 and I plan to go back to weigh****chers all the month of January. Girl I know about the hurting knees but just thank next year this time it will be so much easier getting around. God Bless and keep you...,,,
