i need a diet...HELP

i have 8 days before my surgery and i have to lose weight i was told i needed to lose 10 lbs... but if i can;t do that i would like to lose something... does anyone know of a quick fast diet i can use to lose weight...

atkins diet. All protien no carbs. Gotta drink lots of water too. Keeps the kidneys flushed. I lost 17 lbs in one week on this. It is tough. I hope you find what you are looking for. I would really ask your Dr. what he/she wants you to do first. Just a suggestion. Tammy

Hi Tracey, You should be following the pre-op diet from Nancy the nutritionist. It focuses on protein but also works to shrink your liver which makes your surgery that much easier (at least for Dr. Li). Also eating the pre-op diet will make your post-op transiton much smoother during the first 6 months. It's important to start learning new eating habits for long term success. Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Don't forget to attend post-op meetings. They are important and studies show long term success to those who attend. LisaS
