Surgery date and panicked!

My surgery date is December 5th. I had to lose 10 lbs by that date, 8 is already gone, but I'm so nervous and stressed about it that I keep wanting to eat and eat. I'm afraid I'm gonna go to the hospital and they're gonna send me home cause I've gained weight. This is really getting to me. My doctor is Dr. Aranow in case you're wondering.

i cant understand why you have to loose 10 pounds before surgery??? my date is dec 4 g oliver

Hi Kelly. Don't stress yourself out. I had to lose 27 pounds to get my surgery. I lost 20 pounds in one month with the atkins diet. But I went one step farther and cut out almost all carbs. They couldn't believe I lost so much weight, so quick. All I can tell you is relax. Eat alot of protein if you must, but start eating the foods that will maintain you before and after the surgery. Like they said, we will have to eat more protein after the surgery and cut out the carbs and sugars. So start now, and drink lots of water. I love sodas and juices but I gave them up beacuse I know I will not be able to drink them after the surgery. So I drink diet sodas for now and ice tea or crystal light. You can do it. We have all made it this far, and we will make it the rest of the way. My surgerys Dec 3rd. God Bless you, and take care!!!

Kelly, It frustrates me that surgeons can be poops sometimes. I mean you are having the surgery to acheive this same result. He or she must just want to jumpstart your system. Are you drinking water? All of the water you are supposed to drink? Are you moving? Excercising, cardio at least 20 min 4 times a week? Not weights to build muscle but something to make you sweat..ok so I sweat you may be more refined. My doctor told me that if we start working out now it will assist us in recovering much quicker as well as help us loose some weight to make more room and less fat on the liver in the meantime. You probably are doing all that in and in that case I have a great big hug to let you know I hear what you are saying and I feel for you. We will be your cheerleaders. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I am going in on the same day for surgery. We will have to keep in touch.
