10% Body Fat!

So I'm required to lose 10% body fat before surgery. I'm having such a hard time with it! :/ Can some people share how they lost some weight before surgery.

My surgeon didn't have a set amount of weight I had to lose but there is a mandatory 1 week liquid protein diet. No food 3-6 protein shakes a day. It supposed to shrink a fatty liver. I did mine for 3 weeks. The first two weeks I had 2 shakes and a lean protien with veggies for dinner the last week I did 3 shakes a day. I lost 30 pounds. I did have sugar free Popsicles and jello even though I wasn't supposed to have the jello but I needed to eat something

Can you ask your doctor for help with this. I was fortunate enough that I did not have to loose any weight before suregery. I only had to eat light the day before surgery. I would ask your doctor for guidance or see a nutritionist.
