My Doctor is not going to make me do a 2 week liquid diet. But he did say he wants me to lose 10 pounds so I want to do a 2 week diet if I can make it lol my surgery date is on June 27 but I have a pre op appointment on june 14 and on that day the 14th he has to see me 10 pounds less he said. so please tell me what can I have in those 2 weeks so I can lose 10 pounds. I cant lose weight that easily that is why Im getting the surgery. anyways thanks in advance

I have been able to lose weight quickly in the past (just not able to keep it off hence the reason for surgery) by taking phenternine and eating like 1000 cals a day

well, I am required to do one.....he requires 4-5 low sugar/low carb protien drinks, along with sugar-free popsciles, low-sodium chicken or beef broth, and sugar free jello per day....the protien drink can be made with skim milk or water...and get atleast 64 oz of liquids (water, broth, jello and popsicles included)

When i did my pre op diet. The had me on 310 callorie meals small snacks. And exercise as i got closer we suplimented meals with slimfast shake or protien shakes. You might try that

I'm just completing day 5 of my preop diet and have already lost 8 pounds. I'm having a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and 1 to 2 Protein Bars for Snacks. In the evenings, I eat 5 oz.of lean protein, 2 cups of non-starch veggies and 1 fat. Examples of fat are 1 serving of mayo, salad dressing, cheese, nuts, etc.

OMG thanks everyone that answered my question I really do appreciate it!! and @backtoAMY I heard that on a liquid diet we can also have like jello for snacks and chicken broth right??

I'm on a low calorie (800), high Protein (70+) diet for another week.

I've lost 6lbs already. I've been doing a few shakes and eating dinner. Shooting for as low carb/sugar as I can as well. I'm tacking on dailyplanet and that helps me see where I am. There's also a graph that shows you your fat/carb/protein ratios.

Mine is to help shrink the liver.

Best wishes!

Oops! Double post deleted.

Ok I will try that starting Monday let see if I can lose 10 pounds by June 14 I heard people lose a lot of pounds on their liquid diets.

You can so do this, love! Just take one day at a time. If you need something other than water, get crystal light (they even make crystal light energy drink if you need it) and get moving on the treadmill, any little bit will help. You got this!

Aaawww thanks... xoxo

My pre-op diet was limited to 650 calories, with at least 70 g of protein, and less than 60 g of carbs & less than 15 g of fat. Because I didn't haw a fatty liver, I could've eaten regular food if I wanted & could stay within the guidelines, but I was going through final exams then and didn't want to try to figure out everything that much, so I stuck mainly with Chike protein shake that I got from my surgeon's office. I also had crystal light throughout the day & some SF jello. I lost 12.6 lbs in 2 weeks then.

Oh, there are also a lot of other protein drinks out there to try. A lot of people use the Isopure clear liquid too. I don't like the aftertaste of it, but can tolerate it enough to use it sometimes. GNC sells it. There is also an ispopure powder that is a regular protein shake, not clear, that I've seen some people use too. If you look for protein shakes make sure you look for whey protein isolate because it absorbs more in our bodies than the concentrate type.

Hello - How did you know whether or not your liver was fatty? Did they run a special test or something? I've been curious about that. Thanks!
