Well it depends on how much you were told to lose before the surgery, if you don;t think you can do it then maybe you should push the surgery back a week or two so that you can get the required weight off, maybe do the atkins diet from what I hear the weight comes off pretty wuick with that and maybe exercise-best of luck to you I hope everything works out

Like the previous poster said, it depends on how much weight you have to lose. If it 10lbs, I think you can do it with Atkins, but you have to be very strict with yourself and follow it to the T. If it's 30lbs, you'll need to delay the surgery. I would try with the Atkins, you have a lil more than a week, many people can lose 5-10lbs on it. Goodluck- I hope it works out for you!

I think that Drs who put thier MO paitents through this are cruel!! The most weight lost is try this. Only 128 oz water per day and a multi vitiam for 1 week before you need to get to your low weight. Stop all water for 24 hours before you weight in and drink a bottle of Citrate of Magneesia. Be sure that you are near a bathroom. Then weight in. I have dropped 20lbs in 7 days doing this. It is no fun and may not be too healthy either.It may be best to resecudule your WLS. Good Lux
