Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get some of this weight off before my surgery on October 6, 2008. I have been drinking slimfast shakes for breakfast and nothing during the day, and then at night I eat dinner and have lost nothing. I am afraid they won't do the surgery if I don't lose some weight.

My thoughts on this are pretty simple. By not eating lunch or snacks during the day you are slowing your metabolism and making it harder to lose any weight. I would suggest going to a 100% liver shrinking diet (the protein shakes and clear liquids only) or by having a slimfast for breakfast and lunch and two small and healthy snacks (fruitm string cheese) during the day and then eating a health, well-balanced dinner every day. This has worked for me. I wish you luck!

I agree with Tammy - you are not eating enough to lose and your body is hanging on to its store because it is not sure when it will be fed again.... slowing your metabolism is not the right way to go about it. Didn't your surgeon's office give you a diet to follow? I would suggest the same as Tammy did - slim fast and small snack and small meals - keep your body fed so it burns fuel. Good luck!

I thought I was on a low cal diet, but Monday I started my Dr ordered protein shake diet and I'm down 6 1/2 pounds since Monday. I drink 5 slimfast high protein shakes (or atkins or Boost glucose control) and only sugar free popsicles and jello for snacks...He was nice enough to allow me to substitute one Slimfast high protein meal bar for one of the shakes so I can "chew"

I am having surgery on Oct 8th...save me a seat on the losers bench k?

I am in agreement with the others. Add in some more stuff, protein drinks, bars, slim fast, sugar free snacks, etc. Bump up that metabolism & let the weightloss begin.
