My surgeon just wanted me to lose 10lbs between October and my surgery last month. I lost nothing until January when they told me if I didn't start losing some weight I would not qualify then they gave me an easy diet I could try Breakfast Protein shake or 2 eggs Snack Light Yogurt Lunch Lean Cuisine Snack cheese Stick/Smartfood (something in the 100 calorie range) dinner Small portion of my normal family dinner or another Lean Cuisine I lost 40 lbs between February 2 and May 5
