Question:
Anyone have proven, good suggestions on how I can quickly and safely lose 9 pounds be

I've GOT A NEW SURGERY DATE!!! I previously had my surgery postponed (originally scheduled 6/12/02), then I was informed that it would be around the last week in October. This afternoon, I was given a NEW DATE of Septemebr 3, 2002 and my pre-op is August 23rd!!! AWESOME...I'm excited and all, but there's one thing (and I could use your help)...Does anyone have proven, good suggestions on what I can or should do to achieve quick and safe weight loss to achieve this prior to my surgery date? A liquid supplement or something? I'm already drinking lots of water and get PLENTY of exercise at work. I believe everything is going to be alright and I'd like to get started now and not get all worked up like before. Your suggestions are wanted and appreciated. Thanks to you ALL ;)    — yourdivaness (posted on June 25, 2002)

Hi there, I actually had to lose 10 lbs in one week before my surgery or the surgeon was gonna cancel my surgery and here's what I did. I ate 1 (500 calorie) meal during the day, usually lunch, then the rest of the day I ate salad, and veggies, including cans of green beans. I used a no fat dressing and baco's to spice it up. I drank a ton of water and walked alot. I lost 11 lbs in one week so it's possible! Good luck hope this helps! It wasn't that hard either!
