just nerves

so tommorrow i go for my last appointment with my surgeon. my pre op is done, i have met all the criteria but one. I haven't lost the twenty pounds he wanted me to pre op. not for the lack of trying. I drank and ate sensible things. have given up refined sugars and even diet soda i exercise and still nada. i am scheduled for surgery on wed 3/21/07. I am so scarred that he will make me wait. i have waited for this for so long. any advice?

Have you decreased your carb intake? Of course I'm not your nutritionist or doctor, but I found that I lost weight quickly when I decreased my carb intake to less than 30 grams per day. You say you exercise.... depending on how much you exercise, you could be building muscle, which weighs more than fat. That could be a reason why you're not losing. But thats just speculation. Good luck to you with everything.

i have decreased my carbs too. but nit so much that it throws me in to seritonin syndrome like i did when i was on the adkins fad. i have been riding my bike and walking and doing some light weight training.

My surgery is tomorrow 3/19. I'll be praying for you. Pray USA
