October 26 with 4 lbs to lose by the 23rd

Scheduled for LapBand on the 26th with Dr. Ghandi in Rochester, NY.  If anyone has any suggestions how I can lose these final few lbs. - I'd appreciate it. They say if I don't lose 5 more (lost one) by the Friday before my surgery (10/23), they will cancel it.  

good luck I will be praying for you dr d is great he saved my live and would imagine dr ghandi is the same. best advice to give you walk walk walk

Thanks.  I'm scared to death but very excited.  I'm doing Atkins to lose the last few pounds and figure that once the liquid diet starts, I won't be very hungry. 

me i gave up all simple sugars like drinking kool-aid or lemonade i drink all crystal light drinks only 5 calories i gave up pop 3 yrs ago. all so i dont eat after 6pm.. drink more water and move as much as you can.  i have lost 23lbs so far hoping for 5 more before surgery.. good luck to you, you can drop that 5  

Thanks.  I'm pretty sure I can do it.  I lost 17 right off the bat but a few sneaked back up on me.  When is your surgery?

Good luck with you LapBand, I am having my surgery on October 26 too.

Thanks!  Good luck to you too. 

Thanks everyone.  Surgery is in 2 day.  Day 4 of the 5 day pre-op liquid diet.  Doing better now that I found some additional sources of protein - broth and that Special K drink with protein.  Trying to get my house in order so that I can come home and not worry about having to do anything for at least a few days.
