800 calories. Low low fat, little carbs and 90gr of Protein a day. Use shakes. And drink 64 oz of Water. You will be hungry. If you are obese you can loose 8 pounds in 2 weeks.

If you can't do it maybe you should use the extra time to work on your food issues with a nutritionist and or psychologist.

please let me know any tips u come up with. i need to lose 18 in 6 weeks lol.

No sugar, no carbs, everything non-fat. Protein shakes 3x daily (low-carb) for at least 25g/protein per shake. 64oz of Water a day minimum. Low-sodium as much as possible.

You WILL lose enough weight doing this. In fact, since I suspect this is because you slacked on what you were supposed to be doing and this is what has caused the big emergency, you probably have at least 5 pounds of water weight that will come right off. So it's not as bad as you think. But you WILL have to be ultra-disciplined for the next two weeks and not cheat at all.

So, if you cheat your body will not allow it.

Stop any fast-food. Focus on Protein shakes 3x a day. Drink 62-82 oz of good Water. Take Vitamins for energy. Keep a positive attitude.

Drink 5-6 Atkins Advantage shakes that have only 2 net carbs I believe. Drink 64 ounces of Water. I did this for 7 days before my surgery and lost 10 pounds.

8 pounds is doable in two weeks. If you keep it very low carb.

Stay focus!!! I lost exactly 8lbs in one week on my pre diet by drinking Protein shakes all day.

I lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. My preop was 3 protein shakes/day and unlimited leafy greens. 64oz water in addition to the shakes. Read labels....the shakes should have 20-30g protein and 0-5g carbs.

You can do this! Don't panic and don't beat yourself up. People say "tomorrow is a new day to start over" they're wrong. Every single minute is a new start. Drink tons of Water. Replace meals with Protein shakes. Walk 30 minutes a day, even it's in smaller intervals. You can do this!

how many a day did u have?

I was at 44 BMI before surgery, and I lost 32 pounds two months before surgery doing what most people are telling you.

1) get a myfitnesspal.com account today. Log every single bite you take. Do not go over 800 calories in a day.

2) do not eat bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes, or sweets of any kind. Do not drink alcohol.

3) make sure you are getting 80+ grams of Protein every day. Have a Protein shake for Breakfast. Seafood is your friend. Shrimp, crab, scallops, fish, crawfish, etc. are all fantastic choices.

4) drink at least two liters of Water a day. Rinse out a Coke jug and fill it. Use that to measure your progress. Drink the entire thing every day. Drink more if you can. Add ice.

If you can't do this now, you might need to reevaluate whether now is the right time for you to be having surgery, or if you should have therapy first. Surgery isn't going to magically change you.
