I just returned from my pre-op orientation. I gained 5 lbs in 3 weeks. I went on a little binge to all my favorite restaurants. Steaks, Italian, Mexican... you get the picture.
However, the doc chewed me out. Now he wants me to lose that 5, plus 10 each wee****il surgery (4/18), or he's threatened to postpone it. So I need to lose 25 lbs. in 2 weeks. 
I'm more than a little frustrated.
Well, all we can do is the best we can do, and let the chips fall where they may.

Oi! Thank goodness I am not the only one. I mean, not that I wish this pre-op torture on anyone else, but I am definitely glad to not be alone. I am struggling with this pre-op weight loss thing. I am trying so hard to stick to the food, or the workouts, or ANYTHING, but it's just hard. I know, I'm whining and weak, but I need to figure this out soon, or I'm going to go into surgery in less-than-desirable shape.
I don't know if it will help the rest of you, but sometimes it helps me to remember that the weight loss requirement is because it will come out of your liver and a fatty liver is a really bad thing to go into this surgery with, and it's better for recovery if your liver is healthier. I know it helped me to know that it wasn't just another obstacle, but in fact, a solid reason for requiring the loss.
Regardless, I'm not doing so hot either. Darn.
