Recommended Posts

Hi all, My first time using this app. Need to lose 10-12 lbs ASAP. Any advise? Also taking suggestions/recommendations on which Protein shakes are the best.

I'm not sure the reason for your urgent weight loss need but in that short of a period I'd say do an all liquid diet just like the pre-op diet....

If you drink Isopure (clear Protein drinks) instead of shakes you should lose faster also. No carbs and less calories. Thats all my surgeon allows preop and 1st week post. I did Clear liquids for 6 days and lost 8lbs before finding out insurnace denied me :(

Avoid carbs like the plague - no sugars and no starches, and you will be less hungry. Make sure the shakes have 1/3 the RDA of Vitamins and minerals, or take a good Multivitamin.

      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.
