  • You will have to do some serious calorie restriction and lots of water to flush your system. It's not the best thing to do to your body but one week shouldn't hurt you. Depending on if you hold fluids

Try the pre-op liquid diet.

Per day:

max 800 calories

60-80 grams of Protein a day

max of 50 gram carbs

64 oz or more liquid

clear broth

peppermint tea or green tea to help stave off the hunger.

That may be enough to get you there.

Good luck!

You will have to do some serious calorie restriction and lots of water to flush your system. It's not the best thing to do to your body but one week shouldn't hurt you. Depending on if you hold fluids you may need an over the counter diabetic to help flush out the fluids and maybe a laxative to clean out the colon. If your going to weigh that morning don't drink or eat anything after 8 pm. You could do a veggie juice fast. It won't taste very good though because you don't want to add a bunch of fruit. You could also go mainly all lean protien with fish and some chicken with green leafy veggie. Salads with small amounts of oil vinegar and some squeezed lemon with seasoning. Watch your sodium intake, keep it at a minimum to help reduce water retention. Stay away from any added sugars or carb containing foods. Eat clean. If you get hungry snack on a cucumber or celery your body uses more calories to process them so eat all you wish. Eat high Fiber veggie. Like I said its not going to be the best tasting week of your life but if you do those things you have a good change of succeeding. Oh and sugarless green tea would help. Carful with fake sugars too they can cause some people to retain fluids.
