Hi all!

My surgery is set for Dec 12th. Dr will canceled if I don't lose 10lbs by then. I need help, motivation, inspiration and liquid diet ideas!!

I would suggest hitting the water alot, walking at least 30 minutes or more and WATCH what you eat! I am in the same boat as you. My doctor said I have to lose 10 lbs or he will cancel mine as well. BUT I know we can do this! (I don't even have a surgery date yet but I am doing the sleep study Monday and after that I'm sure I'll have some news hopefully!) I have the hardest time watching what I eat! But I am determined and I know I can do it if I put my mind to it!! And so can you!! You have a beautful family and I know they are rooting for you!

Look this is soooooo worth it that if for 10lbs you were to miss this huge opportunity well ill consider other choices. I'll be honest I got it done thinking it was going to be easier. Well, it's not. I get it now when they told me is only a tool but you will always remain on a diet. So do it now cuz it gets harder. Sorry but I'm telling u the truth

Oh I've always known it Wasn't going to be easy. This isn't a quick fix for me. I've been dieting just to get to where I'm at now. But i just i have ti change it up to get my body back to losing.

Ensure, Boost, Water and your favorite protein drink and eat greek yogurt. You can do this, I am praying that you lose what the surgeon requires you to lose. You have came too far. Keep your eyes on the prize!!!! A healthy you!!! Be encouraged!! Lose those 10 lbs and get your sleeve.....

If you do a low, low carb diet, you can do it. I'm talking anorexic Atkins kind of low, low carb. This will completely deplete your glycogen stores in your body. Glycogen stored in your muscle tissue bonds with Water with a 4 to 1 ratio which means for every pound of glycogen you lose, you will also lose 4 pounds of water for a net total of 5 pounds. 2 pounds of glycogen lost, you have your 10 pounds. Carbs are easily converted to Glycogen.

This is why those of us who did Atkins always dropped 10 pounds the first week or so, but then couldn't budge.

Queengamz if you don't regularly work out be careful.... You can sometimes gain when you first start working out. I have to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery, yesterday I was down 12 lbs, my surgery is Monday. You can do this....keep your eyes on the prize-a healthy, happy you!!

Hi all!

I would get adipex, u will lose 10lbs in a week

Do low carb like a mofo! You can do it! Don't let yourself have more than 20 carbs a day and you will lose it forsure!

I would think the doctor telling me that would be enough motivation.

It really comes down to how much you want it.

Go on your protein shakes and small salads now. You'll be surprised how fast you'll drop weight, you'll get to try out different shakes to find what you like, and do as much calorie-burning exercise as you can. Above all, be stubborn in your desire for the surgery! I can stick to any diet short term, and a week may seem like an eternity while you're in it, but will be over soon and you'll be on your way to your new sleeve!

10 pounds by December 12th? EASY. Just do a VLCD and stick with it. After the first 4 or 5 days it becomes easy. I'm currently waiting on my Protein to arrive and then I will be doing 800 calories a day until my March surgery date.

My plan is to do three scoops of protein in fat free milk giving me 110 grams of protein and adequate potassium which is something most multivitimins lack. I'm also taking a prenatal multivitim divided into two doses so I'm taking half the dose in the morning and half the dose in the afternoon. One Vitamin b complex capsule, and one vit d3 tablet with magnesium. I'm also doing one kale/lemon/ginger shot sweetened with stevia per day. I don't recommend this unless you're an experienced juicer. Kale shots can be very hard on the tummy if you're not used to them. Ordinarily I'd put some green apple and an orange with the kale and enjoy it as a yummy juice, but I can't do the carbs right now because I want to be in ketosis.

I've done a 30 day juice fast in the past, and I've also done also a high protein liquid VLCD in the past and I can tell you that it's NOT that bad.. particularly when you have a goal in sight. Once you resign yourself to not eating, it goes easy. You only have to do it for TWO WEEKS... that's NOTHING. You GOT THIS!
