LAP NISSEN surgery

Hi, I'm preparing for my Lap Nissen surgery. I'm very stressed because my dr. told me 5 weeks ago I need to have on the surgery day 210 LB. When I saw her first time i had 237 LB. I told her is impossible that in 5 weeks, to loose 27 LB. Now I still have 3 weeks and I'm stack on 230 LB. I'm on diet, 1200 calories, going to fitness everyday. I want to know is a standard procedure that say you need to have 210 LB?.

I fight with GERD since 10 years, now in the last they decided that the best is surgery, I was happy when i heard, because I hoped to finish with coughing, choucking, and not sleeping nights. The single thing I could eat was bread, because took my acid. So now I don't know what to do, i'm very concerned.

Can you help me with some thoughts?  

Sorry, Cpopa.

Fat you can see is around your stomach and heart on the inside too. It's really difficult for the surgeon to do his job when he can't see the nerves and blood vessels. I was embarrassed when I read my operative report, the part about all the fat around my organs, and I was within 5 lbs of normal weight, only 20 lbs more than my lean weight now.

My key to weight loss was not eating bread. I love bread :( I never count calories, just avoid the carbohydrates, especially wheat.

Thank you so much for your informations. What scared me is not the diet, was the time. I'm 5'9", and now 229. In general I'm not eating, because everything make me sick. Indeed bread, save my hunger, because was the single thing that took my acid, and never had stomach pain. i cut completely too. I still have 3 weeks, I'm not the person to count my calories, even so from 1200/day probably i eat only 600-800 because i don't have time. In the morning i'm in a hurry to work, and there I eat on my lunch break what i was suppose to eat in the morning. when iIgo home i'm not hungry anymore. I'll see tiil 12/02, hope everything will be OK. How i said before, i'm very scared of this surgery.
