Weight loss pre op

Hello. I will be having surgery on 5-19-09. I need to loss 10lbs. I would like to hear how some of you have lost weight.

My surgery is Tuesday and for the last 3 weeks, I have been on a diet of 4-5 protein shakes a day (I'm using Atkins) and one meal of 4 oz chicken and vegetables...I have lost about 15 pounds on this diet. I won't say it has been easy, because it hasn't, but it does seem to work.

My surgery is on the 19th and my husband's is on Tuesday. We have been on a liquid diet. We are supposed to be having 3 protein drinks (EAS walmart) and then broths, sugar free jello, pudding, and popcicles. It has been very hard for us. I couldnt get down the protein drinks at first. I finally went to Slimfast and im able to get those down but they dont have as much protein and more calories. my husband has lost about 9 pounds so far. I dont know what ive lost. I will admit that we have cheated a couple of times and had dinner. Im mostly trying to stay on broth and soups and then the slimfast. Im tired of hte sugar free stuff. Good luck and just try what you can. You will get lots of support and ideas on this board.
