Can anyone give pointers on losing 16 pounds by May 30th. I have been told to cut carbs. But now I don't know what to eat. Any recipe ideas?

I know Glucophage works wonders with a no/low carb diet.  Top it with a bunch of salads and camp out in the bathroom.  Ta-da!....Salad Shooter!!  (gross, I know...but funny!!) I don't know if a dr will just prescribe Glucophage if you ask though.  I got it when I was diagnosed with PCOS then I did a low-carb diet.  I lost 15 lbs in less than 2 weeks.  One recipe I have sounds icky, but I mix tuna fish, green beans and cottage cheese and nuke it for about a minute.  It reminds me of a tuna casserole.  LOTS of protein and next to no carbs.  DH can't even look at it.

Not sure if you will drop the whole 15 pounds but this mostly always works....Baked or grilled fish....And any green veggie you like. Plenty of water. I would tell you drink your protein shakes but I just cant stomach the taste anymore....And you have to exercise....As much Cardio as you can. If you do salads watch the dressings becasue of the calories.....Hope that helps Dayja

Shug, Practice eating like you will post op.  Eat only protein and watch how much fat you are eating.  If you can, do protein shakes for a snack.  If you keep the carbs out, you will easily lose more than 16 pounds. Good luck to you! Jenn
