I need some advise

I had to quit smoking and drinking coffee and I have gained about 10lbs. They wanted me to lose 10 before they set a date it is now 20 I have to lose and I am going on Halloween to the surgeon's office to set up an appointment. Please give me some idea. I know that I can not take off the 20 in a week but I am having trouble losing at all. I have burcitis in my hip so that limits my exercise and I am eating a low cal. high protien diet and I am still gaining. Help he I am going crazy.

i would try either a liquid diet, or all protein all the time

Check out exercises that you can sit in a chair and do, my surgeon said anything involving long limb(arms, legs) helps try hand weights or if you don't have any use soup cans or something similar. Also try small meals like six times a day instead of 3 major ones. Hope this helps Good Luck Gwen

Thank You
