I REALLY NEED SOME HELP!!!!

Hi everyone, I could use some advice! I have to take off 30lbs by July6th or my Doc WON"T do the surgery . I've been having a hard time of it so far and I'm willing TO TRY ANYTHING and I do mean ANYTHING!!! Please any advice would be greatly appreciated and I'm especially interested methods you've tried yourself. Thanks in advance. -- L.E.

I have to be honest. I did the Atkins and lost an average of 8-10 Lbs a week. The problem was once I stopped it I put all the weight back plus 40 lbs. Its up to you its a good temporary fix. Good luck

LaToya, stick with low carb foods, plenty of meats, no white foods. lots of water. no sugar. good luck... exercise!!! Terri

Hi Latoya, My doc put me on the Medi-fast program....I had to lose 30 pds. before my surgery. I lost 35 pds. in 6 weeks. I drank 5 protien shakes a day. Thats it.... Good Luck!!! Karry 311/185/167 goal

If it were me, I would eat high protien (Chicken, Fish) and a salad or veggies. No Potato, Rice or Bread. A fruit for a snack. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours. This keeps your metabolism going all day and you will not feel hungry. I see that you live in Brooklyn, If you take the Subway, Walk to the next subway stop rather then getting on at the closest one. Thats what I have been doing to get in some extra walking. You would be suprised. The distance between my stops is half a mile so I walk an extra mile a day. Every little bit helps get your metabolism going! Try to remember how important this surgery is to you and it will be easier not to cheat. I did not have to lose weight before my surgery (2 months post op) but I would have due to all the benefits post op! Hope this helps! Keep me posted!
