Date set and Can't lose before Lap-band

Help I am in Boise with Dr. Cahn, he wants me to lose 25 lbs. I have worked like crazy for two weeks and surgery is only 2 weeks away.  I have had only a protein shake in the morning 3 slimfasts and day and only vegies, I walk and dirnk water like crazy and have lost a grand total of 5 lbs. I am such and loser and it is not weight.  I have to lose 110 all together and I am of to a horrid start.

Hello, you and I are in the same boat, I have to lose 25lbs before I can have a appointment date with Dr. Oakley, and I am trying real hard, I got some great advice from my brother who had the DS, I am having the RNY, he said take your body weight, which I am 400 and got it in half, and that is how many oz's of water you should be drinking a day, so I have been consuming 200 oz's of water a day and guess what it works plus I have added one walk at night around my block, plus protein, protein, protein, and no carbs, ONLY WHOLE FOOD, I DONT EAT ANYTHING IN A BOX. I am not sure how much weight I have lossed, when I weighed in it was 400 lbs, but I can feel a difference, I hope this helps, Kristy- Payette Idaho

Thanks Kristy, I had a heck of a time losing, I only made it to 15, but the dr. took extreme pity on me and I had my lad-band done 8/23/07.  Going well, little sore, but hopeful.  Good luck to you.  I know we can do it!!!
