nursesrock! got a reaction from amponder in Can I use a post op diet to use weight without surgery
My pre-op diet was a 10 day liquid only diet, my daily intake: 3 Protein shakes, broth, herbal tea, Water flavored with lemon & mint leaves, 1 Jello if I needed something extra. My daily Protein intake was 90-100 grams and my daily calorie intake was around 500/day. I lost 17.5 pounds in 10 days. After the first 2-3 days I felt great and rarely felt hungry. While I do not recommend doing this long-term, you could do a 7-10 day liquid diet to jump start your new lifestyle and then opt for a low carb, high protein clean diet (lean & green), such as Paleo, South Beach, Atkins.< /p>
In the meantime, pick up some insurance through the Affordable Healthcare Act and maybe you can have surgery later this year or early next year.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do - losing weight is not easy no matter which road you take!
