:confused2:My surgeon wants me to loose 10 pounds this month, and then he will set my surgery date. Does anyone have any ideas/inspiration?? I'll take all the help I can get!

Go on an all liqids diet. Eat soup and broth and drink low sugar drinks and skim milk. You will shed that 10 pounds for sure. May want to go ahead and start on protein shakes too, they keep the hunger pangs away. Good luck!

Gotta say if I were told to lose 10 this month I would go with Atkins. I did it a few years ago and dropped 17 in two weeks. It is water weight from giving up carbs but really quick!

Just about any healthy plan you go on an stick to will help you shed the pounds in 30 days. My nutritionist/surgeon has me on 5 shakes (I use Atkins or Low Carb Slim Fast), one 300-400 calorie meal like Weight Watchers or Lean cuisine, and a salad. The more Protein the shakes have the longer I can go without getting hungry. Drink lots of Water and Crystal Light too.

Staying disciplined is hard but knowing that the doctor won't do surgery until you lose makes it easier. It also prepares you to your new way of eating.

Good luck!

liquid diets, do about 60 grams of Protein a day (make that 3-4 servings since your body could only absorb about 20-25g or protein at a time)

I did the Kellogg protein powder: 5g of protein

Ready to Drink EAS AdvantEdge: 17g (3 drinks a day)

Wal-mart's Body fortress Protein powder, mix with cold Water then use the liquid to make Jello: 6 - 10g

You probably will lose more than 10 lbs in a month...

if you are really hungry, just make soup, strained everything out and drink the broth (1/2 cup at a time).

I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks on Southbeach Diet and enjoyed all the food, I love that diet.

Hello, hope everything is going well. You can also try a 1200 cal. a day. That is what my Dr. has me on, and the first week i lost 7 pounds. so you might want to try that. it will also help in getting you ready for you new eating habits after the surgery.

Hi! Try lowering your carb & sugar intake to 8-12 grams per meal (4 meals a day). I lost 23 lbs. in 7 weeks by eating: Peak Nutrition Whey Gourmet Protein Shakes (16 flavors) 1-for breakfast, mid morning snack - Dannon 40 or 60 calorie yougurt, lunch StarKist Tuna Lunch Kit or Tyson Chicken Breast Lunch Kit, afternoon snack - South Beach or Kashi Breakfast Bar & dinner - salad w/low cal dressing & a Tyson Mesquite Chicken Breast (put in microwave for 2 1/2 minutes = 130 cals & yummy). I used lowfat milk or Soy Light Milk in the protein shake + 1 tbsp. scoop of Light Cool Whip, 1 pack of Sweet N Low & in some cases added Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup. Hard boiled eggs are a great source of protein for snacks. I hope this helps & I wish you the very best!

I would either count calories or join Weight Watchers. If you eat 20 points on weight watchers its 1k a day. You should be able to lose 10 lbs. in 30 days.
