Need to lose 10lbs



Recommended Posts

Try the pre-op liquid diet.

Per day:

max 800 calories

60-80 grams of Protein a day

max of 50 gram carbs

64 oz or more liquid

clear broth

peppermint tea or green tea to help stave off the hunger.

That may be enough to get you there.

Good luck!

You will have to do some serious calorie restriction and lots of Water to flush your system. It's not the best thing to do to your body but one week shouldn't hurt you. Depending on if you hold fluids you may need an over the counter diabetic to help flush out the fluids and maybe a laxative to clean out the colon. If your going to weigh that morning don't drink or eat anything after 8 pm. You could do a veggie juice fast. It won't taste very good though because you don't want to add a bunch of fruit. You could also go mainly all lean protien with fish and some chicken with green leafy veggie. Salads with small amounts of oil vinegar and some squeezed lemon with seasoning. Watch your sodium intake, keep it at a minimum to help reduce water retention. Stay away from any added sugars or carb containing foods. Eat clean. If you get hungry snack on a cucumber or celery your body uses more calories to process them so eat all you wish. Eat high Fiber veggie. Like I said its not going to be the best tasting week of your life but if you do those things you have a good change of succeeding. Oh and sugarless green tea would help. Carful with fake sugars too they can cause some people to retain fluids.

      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.
