Question:
Weight Gain

Im in the process of having my breast reduction and tummy done in the next month or so...My Plastic Surgeon wants me to lose 10 or so pounds.... I had my WLS surgery April 1 2002 and lost 103 pounds but in the last 8 months i have gained about 20 pounds YUK!! H-E-L-P!! PLEASE i need to drop about 10 to 15 pound's and have tried everything. Can someone please tell me a way to do it in the next month? Maybe a sure fire way to drop the weight quickly without diet pills ... maybe something to jump start it...i know this doesnt sound like alot of weight to lose but still im 44 and it just wont come off...please email me @ [email protected].. Thank you    — Susan H. (posted on February 12, 2004)

go back to liquids for a few days, then all soft protein. should come off.

Try the first two weeks of the South Beach Diet. It works for me.

An hour of cardio a day and liquids only will do it.

Eat mostly protein based meals, small amounts every few hours. Cut way back on carbs, eliminate sugar, up the water, and do some heart pumping cardio several times a week. You need food to fuel the metabolism to burn the calories you take in. Cardio also burns the calories. 10 pounds in a month is doable. Good luck.

Hi, Lower your carb intake to low to none, eat all protein meat cheese etc...it will jumpstart your metabolism. Drink alot of water or decaf liquids, exercise (cardio).

I have found the Weight Watchers points system to be very helpful. I don't go to the meetings, I just had a relative show me how to count points, and do it on my own. Good luck!
