HAVE TO LOSE TEN POUNDS

[cass3057 5]

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

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.

i lost a bunch pre op from slim fast. i would have one for Breakfast, then a 100 cal snack, then one for lunch and then another 100 cal snack....then i would have a dinner that was under 500 cal's....then another 100 cal snack. i lost 27 pounds in 2 months, and more than 45 pounds total before surgery. i was also exercising everyday for 30 minutes on the wii, and then 3 times a week walking 2 miles at a time. good luck to you.

From reading the forums, it sounds like different doctors have wildly different pre-op diets. My stateside doc (Washington State) had me go very low carb for 10 days or so before my surgery. I was not put on any kind of liquid diet, just had to restrict my carbs. I wish I could remember how many I was allowed, but it was really low. I could eat what I wanted, just not carbs. I ate a lot of bacon, pepperoni, meats, etc... I wouldn't want to do it as a lifestyle, but I didn't feel deprived at all during the 10 days.

And I lost around 20 pounds during that 10 days!

Throw in some lower legs and thigh workouts if you can. Legs r the largest muscle in the body and shed weight fast.
