How Not To Gain Weight Through the Holidays? PreOp!

My preop consultation is scheduled January 3rd--4 days before surgery. My surgeon will cancel the surgery if I have gained more than 5 lbs from the last time he saw me. I am so paranoid about gaining weight. I know I am preaching to the choir here, but my weight can fluctuate like mad and trying to lose 5 lbs now could trigger a gain if I eat "normally" for Christmas or New Years (ie holiday meal plus dessert). My surgeon will NOT operate if I gain more than 5 lbs from when he saw me last. Any suggestions on how to lose a few lbs or stay steady?
