ok so my surgeon on the first visit told me I need to loose 25 lbs. before he does my surgery. Ive lost only 5 of those lbs. I spoke with my case manager today and she said well if you dont have that 25 off the dr. is not going to preform that surgery. I have a good 5 weeks to get off 20 lbs. off. I know once I get on the liquid diet Im sure ill drop a good 5, but until then I need to get some weight off a bit fast, any suggestions???

If you follow Adkins low carb diet to the letter you will shed those pounds in record time.  You can find the specifics of the low carb diet on the Internet, a lot of $ stores even carry the Adkins diet book. 

Think of these initial 25 lbs as the start of your journey because after surgery you will need the same discipline and determination to maintain your weight loss....this is no easy ride.

I wish you the best with your pre-surgery weight loss.

Change is a Process Not an Event

you should combo diet and exercise - Atkins for sure - with something every day - walk a mile or two at least.  You will have to REALLY focus if you want to make this happen so NO cheating AT ALL!!!! No last meals, no 'just a taste', no exceptions! 

get your head together - cause this is the 'crunch' time of the game - be in it to win it!

good luck

Hi Asiamecca,

The ladies are right! Also, i did a 1500 calories diet and lost 28 pounds in 30 days with no exercise to have my surgery. i was feeling week the first week after that it was a breeze. Just eat 5 to 6 small portions meals every 2 to 3 hrs and drink plenty of water. You can do it girl!

Yes start your walking now so that even when you have your surgery you will be on top of that game.  Now that South Beach diet is full of sodium so be careful because you will end up with unwanted water weight.
