Protein shake (or slimfast) for Breakfast and lunch and a salad with 3oz. lean meat for dinner.... and LOTS of Water !! Also exercise... I started riding my bike for 5 miles and lost 5 pounds in 3 days !

Great advice....Do you think a SLim fast is just as good as Protein shake? I was assuming Protein Shake is probably better for weight loss, but slim fasts taste much better.lol.

I prefer the Protein shakes but whatever you prefer...

I was in your shoes in May and I was required by my surgeon to do an all liquid diet for 2 weeks. I drank 2 protein shakes per day and then was allowed to have broth based soup for dinner. It worked and I lost the last 10 pounds.

Whatever protein shake you decide on needs to have NO sugar....The weight will come of VERY slowly if at all with all the sugar in regular slimfast. I use Nectar by Syntrax (chocolate mousse, or french vanilla) both delicious and you can mix it with chilled coffee and milk and a little SF syrup for a YUMMY iced coffee protein drink!! (I did a youtube video about how I make this!) My pre-op diet was 3-4 protein shakes a day with 5oz of protein for dinner and as many veggies (no starch!) as I wanted with dinner. I did that for 2 weeks and lost 16.6 lbs!! You can do it!! <3

Where do you buy that? That sounds very good. So Lean CUisines would not be something you reccomend? This sounds like an easier diet to follow then all liquids. I know I would really struggle with that.

and what is the link to your youtube video?

I get my protein powder from the Vitamin Shoppe. My dr wanted me on a low carb diet, so that's why I wasn't allowed sugar or starchy veggies. Here's the link to the video!

THanks so much. I am going to try this. I hope it works for me. What kind of exercise were you getting during this 2 week period?

None!! I didn't work out at all! Actually I didn't start really exercising until I was 3 months post-op and then I started doing the c25k.

Awesome...Thanks! I have a little less then 3 weeks to get this done. I have to lose it by Oct. 7. Hope I can do it

You can totally do it in 3 weeks. I didn't start with the two protein shakes and broth based soup the first week. I had two shakes and a normal dinner the first week and then went to shakes and cream soups the second week and then went down to the broth based soups the third week. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. I wish you the best!

Thanks so much for suggesting Necatar by Syntrax! It is awesome. Ive lost 6 lbs in 3 days. They taste so much better then anything else Ive tried! It has really motivated me to count all calories and protein.
