Help, my doctor has advised me that I have to loose 25 lbs in two weeks.

I am scheduled for a Lap RNY on 04-29-03. I went to my pre-op visit yesterday and my doctor has advised that I must lose 25 lbs before that date or he will postpone my surgery. He does not want to perform the open procedure on me. I am 5'8" and weight 388. I have no health problems at all other than a hiatal hernia and it was discovered when I did my sleep study that I have sleep apnea. I am on CPAP and my level is set at 11. I have made arrangements with my job and family for this date so I MUST do this. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Today I started my weight watchers plan for the umpteenth time. Can any of you think of anything that will make this happen faster? Please help. Thanks.
