Hey Guys!

So, I am trying to lose the 14 pounds that my surgeon is requiring so that I can set a surgery date.  I know 14 really isn't a lot to lose, but I was just looking for some ideas on the best (and kind of quick) way to do it.  I have been doing a lot of supplements (a program I did through the hospital prior to making the ultimate surgery decision) for the first few days, and its going okay.  I haven't weighed myself at all since the visit with the surgeon, so I don't know how its working, if at all.  So, I was just looking for some ideas/suggestions/support.  Looking to see what others did to lose the weight.

Thanks!!

Erin :)

Hey Erin,

Just try and do a lot of Protein drinks...  they were much easier to keep down before surgery...  Liquid will def. help you drop the weight!  I lost 13lbs before surgery!  shake in the a.m, shake at luch, and a healhy choice for din din!  =)
