Any advice? I have to lose 10 pounds by Oct 9th.

I was on Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes for 2 weeks prior to surgery and lost > 30 pounds. chocolate flavor is the best

I was on Clear Liquids for 2 days before surgery and I lost almost 20 pounds. The clear liquids faze really sucks.

sugar-free popsicles. low salt (yuck) bullion. Isopure (get the pre-mixed kind, it tastes better) s-f Jello. If you do this and you lose the weight, it will make your recovery so much easier and so much faster! it is really worth the unpleasant-ness. think.... if you cant do it now, how will you do it after the surgery?...I was worried that I was going to spend all that money and go through all the pain only to gain the weight back (like I had over and over with dieting), so I made myself a deal that I could only have the surgery if I could stick to liquids for a month first. I seems to have worked! good luck and hang in there!

I lost 6 lbs but was cleared for surgery!!!!! I am so excited to get my sleeve that I cannot sleep. All of this work to meet with therapists, nutritionists, support groups, and the liquid diet has prepared me for success. I wish all of my other October 11th sleevers a healthy surgery!
