The Pre Op Diet

Any suggestions on this? My dietician gave this to me today. I went out and bought Atkins meals and Protein shakes. Kind of spendy. Is any one else on something similar to this?

She wants me to take the 15 pounds off quick. My insurance won't pay for the surgery if I don't lose the 15 pounds by October.

She said I could have all the cheese, I wanted, I was thinking of putting it over the broccoli.

I was also thinking of getting chicken breasts and cooking them and adding vegetables instead of ready made Atkins meals.

Since I have a brain injury and have a hard time planning, she just figured popping a Adkins ready made meal in the oven, would be a lot more convienant. Any how, just wondering if anyone else has done this and if you have any suggestions you could add.. Thanks

I find for dinners it's easier to buy chicken in bulk and then divide it out in to how many I need for each meal, I also buy tons of frozen veggies. I then bake the chicken and steam the veggies.

I also buy big packs of 97% lean ham or turkey sandwich meat and section those out in 4oz portions with 4oz of a block of cheese. For breakfast I like boiled eggs and turkey sausage. The lower ur carbs the faster ull lose weight. After 3-5 days of under 20g of carbs ur body will go into ketosis and will use ur body fat for fuel. Hell at this point if you can do that you may not even have to exercise. If you get a hankering for something else find you a low carb protein shake, maybe something that taste sweet to give you a nice change in flavor.

How many boiled eggs do you have in the morning? I Like that idea.
