Recommended Posts

Hi all, My first time using this app. Need to lose 10-12 lbs ASAP. Any advise? Also taking suggestions/recommendations on which Protein shakes are the best.

I'm not sure the reason for your urgent weight loss need but in that short of a period I'd say do an all liquid diet just like the pre-op diet....

Sorry, should've explained myself more. That's my surgery date. I don't want to reschedule so I'm really trying to lose the lbs. unfortunately I've been stuck since last week and I'm cutting it close. ☹️

If you drink Isopure (clear Protein drinks) instead of shakes you should lose faster also. No carbs and less calories. Thats all my surgeon allows preop and 1st week post. I did Clear liquids for 6 days and lost 8lbs before finding out insurnace denied me :(

Avoid carbs like the plague - no sugars and no starches, and you will be less hungry. Make sure the shakes have 1/3 the RDA of Vitamins and minerals, or take a good Multivitamin.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
