I am scheduled for 12/12 also!!

Good question!! My surgery is on 12/12 so i was wondering as well!!

I am having my surgery on the 12th too and I was in the same boat... 10lbs gone or no surgery!!

This is my plan and I only have 3-4 more lbs to go!

Upon waking up: metamucil mixed with low carb juice

Breakfast: Low carb, low cal, high Protein Protein Drink for Breakfast with coffee until lunch

Lunch: 1-2 servings of veggies with some lean meat of some kind (1 serving)

snack: metamucil mixed with low carb juice

Dinner: 1-3 servings of veggies with one serving of lean meat.< /p>

after dinner/before bed: metamucil mixed with low carb juice

Thanks!!

So exciting our surgeries are so close!!

So only 7 more to go! You can do it! As you do liquids more you will find that you aren't able to pass BMs as easily... this is where the Fiber will help and it'll also help budge extra lbs.

I know, I know, it's not a very delicate womanly topic but it's true. Came directly from my GP lol She went into further detail actually which is REALLY inappropriate for a forum.

Thanks for the support!

Lol you're funny! Well for me liquids help me go more easily since I'm always backed up :/

**update**

At pre-op appt Yesterday I was 243.1 and this morning (9:00am) I am at 240.5

10 pounds by December 12th? EASY. Just do a VLCD and stick with it. After the first 4 or 5 days it becomes easy. I'm currently waiting on my Protein to arrive and then I will be doing 800 calories a day until my March surgery date.

My plan is to do three scoops of Protein in fat free milk giving me 110 grams of protein and adequate potassium which is something most multivitimins lack. I'm also taking a prenatal multivitim divided into two doses so I'm taking half the dose in the morning and half the dose in the afternoon. One Vitamin b complex capsule, and one vit d3 tablet with magnesium. I'm also doing one kale/lemon/ginger shot sweetened with stevia per day. I don't recommend this unless you're an experienced juicer. Kale shots can be very hard on the tummy if you're not used to them. Ordinarily I'd put some green apple and an orange with the kale and enjoy it as a yummy juice, but I can't do the carbs right now because I want to be in ketosis.

I've done a 30 day juice fast in the past, and I've also done also a high protein liquid VLCD in the past and I can tell you that it's NOT that bad.. particularly when you have a goal in sight. Once you resign yourself to not eating, it goes easy. You only have to do it for TWO WEEKS... that's NOTHING. You GOT THIS!

Thank you so much!! I start my liquid diet today. I'm hoping with that and some exercise i can get there!!

Go on your Protein Shakes and small salads now. You'll be surprised how fast you'll drop weight, you'll get to try out different shakes to find what you like, and do as much calorie-burning exercise as you can. Above all, be stubborn in your desire for the surgery! I can stick to any diet short term, and a week may seem like an eternity while you're in it, but will be over soon and you'll be on your way to your new sleeve!

Great motivation!!You're right! Thanks.

Do low carb like a mofo! You can do it! Don't let yourself have more than 20 carbs a day and you will lose it forsure!

Thank you!! I start my liquid diet today!!

I would get adipex, u will lose 10lbs in a week

Thanks hun. Going to look in on that!!

Queengamz if you don't regularly work out be careful.... You can sometimes gain when you first start working out. I have to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery, yesterday I was down 12 lbs, my surgery is Monday. You can do this....keep your eyes on the prize-a healthy, happy you!!

Wow 13lbs is great!! Good job!! Thanks for the support!! Good luck on Monday, can't wait to hear your success story!

If you do a low, low carb diet, you can do it. I'm talking anorexic Atkins kind of low, low carb. This will completely deplete your glycogen stores in your body. Glycogen stored in your muscle tissue bonds with Water with a 4 to 1 ratio which means for every pound of glycogen you lose, you will also lose 4 pounds of Water for a net total of 5 pounds. 2 pounds of glycogen lost, you have your 10 pounds. Carbs are easily converted to Glycogen.

This is why those of us who did Atkins always dropped 10 pounds the first week or so, but then couldn't budge.

Thank you, I will look into it!!
