If you really need to do it, you have to go hard core. I would recommend the clear liquid diet, which sucks, but is very effective! I lost 8 lbs in 3 days. All I was able to have was:

clear broth

sugar free popcicles

sugar free ocean spray or crystal light

sugar free Jello

Decaf tea

Thats it! You can do it. If you are desperate, add 1 Protein shake per day, but if you can stick to the clears, you will definitely lose that 5. Good luck!

My Dr. was Thomas Brown at CBSI. Who is yours?

Three days of Clear liquids was the only pre-op diet I had to do. The Jello did not do much for me, but the broth helped keep the hunger at bay. Try different flavors, I actually found one chicken broth that was Thai lemongrass flavored. Awesome but very high sodium.

Good luck! Stick to the diet! :smile2:
