chulipa

Im having surgery on my foot on june 6th I have lost from 287 to 189 i wont to lose 9lbs before I see my orthopedic Dr. on May 23rd he has not seen me since ive lost weight. I started at morbid obese and if i can lose those 9lbs i will only be over wieght. What can i do to make this possible im 52, 5'7", eating 1200 cals , and walk around 7,000 to 10,000 steps a day more when i can

I would recommend cutting back on carbs. Don't go crazy with it, because then you will gain it right back once you eat carbs again. But, for example, sandwich with one slice of whole wheat bread instead of two. Half a serving of brown rice instead of a full serving and more veggies. Don't drink any calories. No alcohol.

I'm having surgery on my foot on Monday one of many I've had I'm struggling with weight loss as well and am worried about gaining while I'm on best rest

All we can do is eat what calories MFP gives us and we will burn extra calories just getting around and healing. I just want to be in the over weight category before my surgery since it only about 8lbs and i have until June 6th but want to be there by May 23rd when i see the doctor

You can lift weights with your arms while seated and not hurting your foot. It won't cause weight loss all by itself but it is definitely a good thing to add. Also make sure to weigh your foods with a food scale so that you can be certain you are getting 1200 calories.

Echoing the make sure you're weighing and choosing accurate entries in the database.

Adding, you went from morbidly obese to just over the overweight category in the time between visits? Pretty sure this doc is gonna be blown away even if you don't make it to "overweight"!
