Hi Jessica,

You must be Kaiser? I am too...what I did was just stay at 1200 calories a day, focus on protein, and exercise regularly. It was pretty easy to lose.

Blessings to you!

Lots and lots and lots of water!!!  Drink water until you feel like you are growing gills...  then drink more.. and pee pee those calories away!

seriously, that's how I did it.  Along with watching what I ate.    Avoid Pasta, Bread, Rice, Potatoes, fried food...  that will help too!

Good luck,

I had to lose 10% also.  I wasn't quite ready for the 1200 cal diet so I did weigh****chers to lose most of the 34 lbs i had to lose.  Then I switched to the 1200 calorie diet from the Dr.  Good luck to you.

I did the "pretend you've already had surgery" diet.

I lost 30 lb. but it took me 7 months (I had 7 months as I knew I couldn't get surgery until the Fall, plus no particular requirement to lose any particular percentage). I ate protein first, upped my water and cut back on the carbs. I slowly dropped my calories to under 1200. I also started exercising more.

Count your calories, eat a lot of protein, very low carbs, high veggies.......Good Luck

 You don't have to do a 6 month diet or lose weight before you can have WLS.
