6 weeks Until Surgery...Need Advice on Pre-Op Weight Loss

My mind is boiling with questions today! I am getting obsessed! LOL. With death still so close to my heart (check my profile for those responding who don't know), I want to be in the best possible condition prior to surgery. My BMI is 53 and, although my surgeon hasn't told me to, I really would like to lose weight prior to surgery to aid in my recovery. Many of you have been required to do so - will you please share your method? Some have used Optifast, but that is not covered under my insurance, although WLS is. Makes sense, since in my mind, a liquid diet would be something to do only temporarily. I've heard SlimFast is high in sugar, or calories, or something. Can anyone make some recommendations? Anyone willing to part with their leftover Optifast at a discounted cost? Other ideas? THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE TODAY!
