Question:
Need to lose weight before surgery

My approval process took four months and I have gained about 20-25 lbs. The doctor's office said if I had gained any weight, the doctor would cancel me. My next appointment is 9/24. Anybody can help me to lose this weight in two weeks??? (without fasting, I'm diabetic) I'm new here, how do you find an angel?    — PRISCILLA B. (posted on September 9, 2003)

Hi Pricilla. You and I are in the same boat only I gained 40 lbs in 6 months. I went on the Atkins diet. I was on it for 13 days and I lost 11lbs. I have an appointment the same day you do so I went back on the diet and hope to loose another 10lbs or so before the 24th. This diet may just be what you're looking for. It's basically eating all the protein you want along with fats. It works for me. Good luck to you on your journey. Claire

Cut out all the "white stuff". That includes white breads, potatoes, white sugar, and pasta. Drink lots of water. I haven't personally tried this, but I hear it works wonders.
