They asked you to lose eight pounds in one week? Not sure if I'm going to be much help but I will try. Have you been on a six month weight loss requires? How much are you down?

I'm three years out from surgery. I can't lose eight pounds in a week. It's more like one to two pounds, I also exercise two hours a day five days a week. one hour cardio one hour lifting.

My calorie intake is 1200. My Protein goal is 70-130. Low carb lots of Water.

The only way I know my calories and macronutrients is logging my food in my fitness pal.

I have done everything but i have to lose 8 pound to get approved for the surgery and i have my appointment next week with the nut

Pity you didn't plan to do it in 12-25 days. Seven days or fewer is a tall order.

I want to lose 8 pound in one week any diet to share

1. Have four half-strength low-carb Protein Shakes made on Water over the course of a day. (about 4.5-5.5 hours apart).

2. Drink 1.2-2.1 litres of water during the whole 24 hour day.

3. snack on cucumbers, tomatoes, baby spinach and celery if you have to chew!

4. Exercise: (a) swim 3000m and/or (b) wade chest deep in water as fast as you can for 2-3 hours and/or (c) use a treadmill on 4mph or higher for two hours or more AND (d) do 15 minutes every hour you're awake of resistance or resistance-band exercises or dumbbells/barbells to 10kg (22 pounds).

- - -

I swim 3000m (2 miles) every day and deep-wade a further 2000m (1.25 miles). Every second day, I do 35-40 minutes of pool resistance exercises. On the alternate days, I do 25-30 minutes with resistance bands and ankle weights.

I weigh myself before I leave home and when I come back. The difference (before any eating or drinking) is 700 grams to 1.7 kg (1700 grams) lost via exercise ... depends on heat, humidity, intensity, hydration ...

So, before I eat my 950-1450 calories per day, I am already down 700-1700 grams. (That's 25 ounces to 60 ounces melted daily ... or 1.5 to 2.5 pounds per day).

On my post op and eating much more than you will, I have a nett loss of 1.2kg to 1.7kg per week (3 to 3.75 pounds).

- - -

Do NOT follow this advice if you are self-aware enough to know that it would be dangerous for you. I am NOT a medical professional or exercise consultant. I am just telling you what I have learnt about my own rate of weight loss in the last 6-8 months.

n.b. TWO DAYS PER WEEK, I swim/wade with my family doctor.

Scratch the advice above - what was I thinking...Do the best you can to lose the weight. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn't happen in 8 days. It's the fact you are loosing not how fast.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
