Question:
I need to lose 8 lbs in 15 days!
Is this possible? Really wanted to be at this weight by my 5 month. Feel like my weight loss is at a stand still, whta can I do to seriously kick it up? — wecangetright (posted on July 10, 2007)

Hi Kate, There are only a few ways you can do this, that I know of. Popcorn
and water and fruit. Or the cabbage soup diet with only , mellon or berries
and veggies and a 3 oz piee of chicken each meal, Absolutely NO fat. The
2nd way is much more safe health wise then the first.

I wouldn't give yourself such a timeline. Just follow the program and you
should lose some in 8 days, but maybe not all 15. You are stressing
yourself out and that could hinder your weight loss.

if you are at a stand still have you tired increasing your protien intake?
protien will burn fat and you will help you lose those 8 lbs to reach your
5 month goal. The best way to know how much protien to have per day is
divide your body weight in half and that is the min. protien that you
should have a day

Before I WLS I tried Adkins and it worked but it didn't last.

Hi, yes you can, I did in less of 9 days. My nutritionist gave a diet with
no fats, only salads with lean meats, (baked or broil ) and no rice of
carbohydrates. I never felt hungry and y lost 9 pounds in 6 days. That's
the detoxy diet for the liver. I hope you do it . Blessings

It is NOT ABOUT NUMBERS. I am sad to see that no one posted this obvious
response. Focusing on numbers will only create more obsession about food. I
wish you well.

I agree with Beverly. Numbers are simply numbers. Sometimes we need to
give up that control and obsessive behavior because that's partly what got
us into our "situations" in the first place. I would have liked
to lose weight more quickly, but I decided when I got into this to not even
set any WL goals for myself except to continue to lose at a steady and
healthy pace. That was ONE goal I was able to manage as long as I followed
Dr's orders it's been fairly easy and I've lost 80 pounds with lap band so
far. I'm not focused on numbers, so I'm not disappointed when I don't
reach goals, so I'm not going to "eat" over the disappointment
like I would in the past. Our surgery was a phyisical change, there's no
surgery that can change the old behaviors or ways of thinking. Only WE can
change that. Good luck to you

Return to a healthy full liquid diet and stop obessing about the numbers.

know it. Good luck. Carolyn 3 wks out

Your OH Profile only states that your PostOp. You've never filled it in so
we can't assume which if any surgery you received. I don't know why
everyone is posting those fad diets we all tried but yo yo'd the weight
back on once we stipped those Mythical Diets. Yes they worked for a little
while but if they really worked why would anyone need WLS? Get back to your
Basic Postop menu. Pure Protein and zero calorie beverages such as water.
At least a gallon a day. And walk till you drop. Let us know how you do,
