Lap band 11/29

Hi all! Got my date - this went incredibly quickly. I had to lose ten pounds to get the date, and they scheduled me at -7 -- at which point, I started eating again. Any advice on getting the pre-op weight off in a hurry? I'm really, really struggling. I need to get 6 pounds off asap, and keep it off until the 29th. Is anyone else having a hard time with this? Anyway, I'm really excited about getting the band, and I'm so thrilled that I got a date so quickly (3.5 months). Yay! Donna B

I did struggle with some weight gain too... but my Surgeon threatened to cancel on me and that was motivation enough to lose them quickly! The trick is to do something to lose those 6 lbs that you can live with for a couple more weeks... something low carb maybe? Personally I alwasy found that to work (short term anyway) Best of Luck!!!
