Cheating
I don't think I'd lean on a bar. I'd try like heck to lose some waterweight before hand. Probably do nothing but protein shakes and drink lots of water to flush out what you can. I'd also point out to the surgeon that if you could lose weight without the surgery you wouldn't be there in the first place. If that doesn't work another month won't hurt. I know it has to be heck waiting and struggling to reach his goal for you but you can do it.
Won't they just tell you to stop leaning on the bar??
I agree with trying to drop some water weight- either way good luck for Thursday.
You are not cheating the system, you are cheating yourself, and you do not deserve to be cheated on. If you are going to be successful, in the program you are going to have to be first honest with yourself. YOU CAN DO THIS, I KNOW YOU CAN!!!!
