Ten days to lose 10 pounds?



Recommended Posts

Just spoke with md, he wants another 10 pounds off by end of the month. I am feeling so hopeless right now. Is this possible to lose this at all in time? After all the hardwork, i Feel like giving up and just calling it quits. I truly feel its a losing battle at this point :(

Don't give up just get back on your program and tell yourself you can do it! Even if you don't lose all that he wants you to he will be happy with a loss. I almost postponed mine because I had not lost the amount they wanted me to but I went after encourgement from this site. I was down a few pounds and they were happy with that. It was submitted and I was approved and have my surgery date of jan.22.

Don't get discouraged.

Maybe this is your MD's way of trying to motivate you? Personally, this would have a negative effect for me because I would feel too pressured and probably not try.

My advice is do your best and instead of trying to meet the number goal focus more on practicing new habits (eating right and exercising).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
