Hi, and welcome to Oklahoma OH as well as Weight Wise. If I can ever assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to give me a shout. Best of luck on your new journey. It is well worth it, Rita

Rita,
Thanks for the reply.  I am having a real difficult time getting the last few pounds off.  I really, really wanted to have surgery on Jan. 23 as I have that day off work, but I just can't seem to shed these last few pounds.  Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks. JoeJoe2

Welcome JoeJoe!!!  I know that I had to loose some pre-op weight as well.  The nutritionist gave me an "agressive" diet plan and it worked for me!  They know what they are doing at Weight Wise.  You might contact your nut by e-mail and ask her.  The things they had me doing right before surgery to get the last off was:

Breakfast  - protein shake
Mid-morning - protein bar
Lunch - protein soup
mid-afternoon - protein bar
dinner - lean meat and salad or veggie
bed-time - protein shake

Of course, with that I drank a minimum or 64 oz of water...the more the better!  This really helped me loose the last of my weight.  I didn't get hungry because I was eating or drinking ALL THE TIME!  Good luck!

If you are having trouble with your current diet plan call your NUT and they can switch it up and advise you on the changes you need to make. Or you could do Thomas's militant low carb plan. I know that it works. If you need that plan PM hear_me_roar and he will send it to you via email. Best of luck, I know that it is difficult. Luckily I had 6 months to get 27 pounds off. Hang in there because you can do it. You are worth it, Rita

Sorry you will have to be a little clearer.  I don't understand what this Thomas's militant low carb plan is.  I do need the plan, but not sure how to get it.  How do I get the e-mail?
Thanks for your help.

Joejoe - she's talking about our WeightWise buddy, Thomas, who lives in St. Thomas.  Anyway, I sent him a PM and hopefully he'll contact you and see if he can help you get off those last few pesky pounds!

Hang in there!  You can do it and it is so worth whatever we all had to go through to get there!

Thomas is a friend of ours here on the forum. You can contact him at http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/hear_me_roar Click on send a message. Ask him to send you his low carb plan and give him your email address. He'll be more than happy to send it to you. Hope this helps. Rita
