When I first started to lose weight prior to my surgery I started with the military diet. It kick starts your metabolism. I also cut soda out if my diet and try not to snack after dinner. Good luck. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

I lost 18 lbs in 2 months by not eating bread, pasta, rice, sugary fruits i.e apples, pineapple,oranges etc . I ate 6 small meals a day and drank 6 small 16oz bottles of water a day, before and after a meal/snack. I ate a lot of raw organic celery, organic brocoli sprout, mix green salad (skip the dressing, just add lemon juice/balsamic vinegar), cucumber, strawberry, red/black berries, pear, some eggs; small pieces of grilled wild Alaskan salmon, lean grilled wild caught fish for lunch and dinner.
I also ate raw almond, chick pea and other beans for snacks. I bought the dry bean and cook them myself. The beans provides healthy slow digesting protein to help cut hunger. I was not hungry because I can eat as much as celery as I want. I believe celery help burn fat and there is few calories in it. Drinking water before meal help cut the hunger. A light Activia yogurt (60 calories) make a nice snack. I make sure I take one a day vitamin pill and fish oil every day. One hour exercise every day, lots of walking and frequent sauna sessions. Now half of my belly fat is gone. I will continue my diet and exercise for another 2 months. Maybe I can have a flat belly without surgery, I hope.

Thx, for the advice!!! I have started to drink lots of water I have to buy more fruit, I now only eat chicken and fish.

If you eat chicken, buy lean chicken parts, peel off the skin then grill or steam it.
I buy rotisserie chicken from Costco, peel off all the skin and eat a small piece (size of hand palm) with lots of green young salad i.e baby spinach , chick pea and throw in slices of strawberry, almond and mushroom. So delicious.
Also my doctor says always eat your fruit with some raw almond together.
The more fat you loose, the less pain and bruise you will have because less fat means less lipo. Lipo causes bruises and pain.
It would be preferrable to have a nurse aid to look after you few days after the surgery. Ask your plastic surgeon if anyone in his nurse staff or if he knows a nurse aid who can either come to your hotel or take you in their home to care for you for few days. Some doctors even have a special facility for out of town patients to rest under doctor supervision after surgery. Don't be in your hotel alone after the surgery during the first few days.
