Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Need to loose Pre-Surgery Weight Ok - I got approval from my insurance today and will proceed with EGD and bloodwork but in the meantime I need to loose as close to 20lbs as I can before I can get a surgery date. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to loose this faster so I can get a date? I can loose the weight and have been doing weight watchers - its just so sloooooow! 1-2lbs/ week. I know this is a healthy way to do it but I need to speed things up a little! Thanks for any advice.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | I know that I lost about 12-15 lbs on my 2 week liquid diet. Mine wasnt an actual "liquid" diet since I was able to eat a sensible meal, low carb, low fat, high protein for dinner. Good Luck to you! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I was doing weight watchers too...but it just wasnt coming off... maybe 2 lbs a month. I've always been successful with Atkins. No carbs and no sugar is a great way to drop weight quickly. My surgeon also suggested to do a high protein no carb diet pre op but the liquid diet most require 2 weeks prior drops quite a bit of weight as well.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I would try a atkins/south beach type diet. You should be able to do about 20lbs in 1 month with that. My problem with those diets was I feel apart after about 1 month but...you only need to lose 20lbs. I think I would lose about 12-14lbs in the first 7-10 days on atkins when I tried to lose before I thought about surgery. Also...drink tons of water. We hold a lot of water weight and you can lose 5-10lbs of water weight sometimes if you are not used to drinking a lot of water.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | My doc did not require the 2 week pre liquids, just wanted me to loose any way I can. I think I'm gonna ditch the weight wathers plan and do the higher protein diet. I've done the protein power plan before and I think its similar to adkins. I remember all the rules. Just - After a while I wanted bread and potatoes more than ever before like a wild animal..lol. I will also push the water - I don't do that enough anyway. I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks on ww but went on a mini vacation fishing trip to the Chesapeke Bay last weekend and gained most back, so bummed out about it this week and now I have another family vacation this coming weekend to Pigeon Forge, TN - about 17 of us renting a gigantic cabin. Good thing is we will cook our meals more than eat out, but I rarely go on any vacation and not gain....erg I'll eventually get there. I know I can do it just need to settle down and get strict. Wish me luck! Thanks for all the advice. Terri Ann

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I had to do a doc supervised medi fast and lost 40 lbs in 6 weeks. they sell it on-line. That program isn't exactly what I did because we had to do 5 shakes a day and that's it, but you can check it out. What does your doc recommend?
