Is it possible to lose 14 pounds in a week? My parents promised me a new room set when I lose 75 pounds and I'm 14 pounds away! I am gonna go on a protein shake diet. Where I just eat shakes for a week. Is this a bad idea? Or even possible?

Yes, it's a bad idea.  Unless you are working closely with your doctor and following a diet he recommends designed to lose so much weight so fast, that is.  It's not a safe amount to lose unless supervised by a physician.  I'm sorry if your parents are pressuring you to lose weight in an unsafe way, and encourage you to follow your surgeon's plan, regardless.

do you have to lose it by a certain date, or no bedroom set?

If there's no time limit to the promise, do it the right way. follow the plan.

I would sometimes lose quite a lot -- in fact each month I would have one week where I lost a LOT (then the next week, not so much, then flatlined, then GAIN -- repeat cycle)

Do what's right, you'll get there.

No, unless you lose a lot of water weight (which will come right back), even on all liquids -- unless you work out a lot, every single day -- you cannot create a large enough caloric deficit to lose 14 pounds in 7 days!  In order to lose 14 pounds of a true fat, you need to burn 49,000 calories.  That would be burning 7000 more calories than you take in EVERY DAY!
