They asked you to lose eight pounds in one week? Not sure if I'm going to be much help but I will try. Have you been on a six month weight loss requires? How much are you down?

I'm three years out from surgery. I can't lose eight pounds in a week. It's more like one to two pounds, I also exercise two hours a day five days a week. one hour cardio one hour lifting.

My calorie intake is 1200. My Protein goal is 70-130. Low carb lots of Water.

The only way I know my calories and macronutrients is logging my food in my fitness pal.

I have done everything but i have to lose 8 pound to get approved for the surgery and i have my appointment next week with the nut

Pity you didn't plan to do it in 12-25 days. Seven days or fewer is a tall order.

I want to lose 8 pound in one week any diet to share

1. Have four half-strength low-carb Protein Shakes made on Water over the course of a day. (about 4.5-5.5 hours apart).

2. Drink 1.2-2.1 litres of water during the whole 24 hour day.

3. snack on cucumbers, tomatoes, baby spinach and celery if you have to chew!

4. Exercise: (a) swim 3000m and/or (b) wade chest deep in water as fast as you can for 2-3 hours and/or (c) use a treadmill on 4mph or higher for two hours or more AND (d) do 15 minutes every hour you're awake of resistance or resistance-band exercises or dumbbells/barbells to 10kg (22 pounds).

- - -

I swim 3000m (2 miles) every day and deep-wade a further 2000m (1.25 miles). Every second day, I do 35-40 minutes of pool resistance exercises. On the alternate days, I do 25-30 minutes with resistance bands and ankle weights.

I weigh myself before I leave home and when I come back. The difference (before any eating or drinking) is 700 grams to 1.7 kg (1700 grams) lost via exercise ... depends on heat, humidity, intensity, hydration ...

So, before I eat my 950-1450 calories per day, I am already down 700-1700 grams. (That's 25 ounces to 60 ounces melted daily ... or 1.5 to 2.5 pounds per day).

On my post op and eating much more than you will, I have a nett loss of 1.2kg to 1.7kg per week (3 to 3.75 pounds).

Do NOT follow this advice if you are self-aware enough to know that it would be dangerous for you. I am NOT a medical professional or exercise consultant. I am just telling you what I have learnt about my own rate of weight loss in the last 6-8 months.

n.b. TWO DAYS PER WEEK, I swim/wade with my family doctor.

Scratch the advice above - what was I thinking...Do the best you can to lose the weight. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn't happen in 8 days. It's the fact you are loosing not how fast.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
