Need to lose weight quick for surgery



Recommended Posts

I have to lose 25lbs before my surgeon will even schedule my surgery. I have an appt. with my Nut on Nov.13th and I want to hit my goal by then. Currently I'm 379lbs so I know weight can drop quick when you start out weighing this much.

I would like those who went on two week til 30 day liquid diets how much weight was lost. I know some had two shakes a day and one meal and I would like to know much weight loss on those types of diets.

My insurance changes at the end of the year and I've been on this journey since March. I don't want all of this to be for nothing.

Any stats ya'll can give me will be greatly appreciated.

I started my milk diet three weeks before my sleeve op on 09/18 and managed to lose 20 pounds. I drank mainly iced coffee laced with milk as I'm not really a fan of milk on its own. Here in the UK you can also get a soya milk substitute in either Cappuccino or chocolate.< /p>

I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, started at 200lbs. Had 3 Premier Protein drinks per day, Vitamin Water Zero, sugar free ice pops and broth. You can do it!!! The first 3-4 days SUCK, I am not going to lie but it gets easier by day 5.

I lost 10 pouds in 2 weeks drinking 4 Protein Shakes a day, light yogurt, sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding. This is all I ate every day for two weeks.

I dropped 20 lbs in two weeks. I basically drank 3 muscle milk light shakes a day and hit the gym for about an hour each day for straight cardio workouts.

Thank everyone for the input. I'm going to work this out. This is the one thing only 'I' can do for myself so I'm going to put my nose to the grind and get this done.

I love swimming and I did a mile in 85 minutes so I'm going to keep that up and hit the shakes. I have a Ninja and been doing shakes in the morning but I'm going to step it up.

I'll post again in few days to update how its going.

Again Thank You!

Thanks. This seems quite spanked and my work day eating has been like this. I'm gonna wait a few days before I get on the scale and adjust it as necessary.

      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.
