ideas to loss 3 pounds by Thursday

Hi I am having the lap band done on Thursday and need to loss atleast 3 pounds by then. Should I do athe Atkins thing? Any other ideas?  I suppose just the bowel clean out on Tues/Wed will do the trick..

Yeah, it's very likely that your bowel prep and liquid diet those days will drop those last few.  good luck!

When I did my liquid diet a week ago, that dropped the pounds pretty easy. I was losing about 2 lbs a day.   I was doing a protein shake three times a day, and doing sugar free popsicles, low sodium chicken broth. I also had some tomato soup made with water--I added some spices to it, that really helped.

I started my bowel prep today...Its going pretty well hehe I thought it was going to be worse. The worse part was the first trip to the bathroom, now its just been water ever since. I had scheduled tomorrow off work, but think I am going in after all.
 I will try to post on Tuesday am before I leave, how much I lost on the bowel prep..I am imagining it has got to be about 4-5.


Good luck!

Yep, I would just do a liquid diet........

Good luck....hugs.....connie d

Thanks everyone!

Whoo Hoo!  I can't believe you are three days away!  
You will for sure lose three pounds doing the LD!!!!   I loved the LD because you don't have to think about or plan any food.  You just drink Boost or Carnation Instant Breakfast all day.  :O)  It's great!  :O)  
PM me the time of your surgery and which hospital you are at. 
I'm so excited for you Lorrie!

Your liquid diet should be enough.  It was for me!
