Question:
Need info about 3 day diet posted a while back

A while back there was a post about 3 day diet that you were able to lose 10 pounds on...I have a friend going in for surgery and doc wants her to lose 20 pounds...Figure this way she could lose it fast...Also need to know if this diet really works...Needs something that will work fast...She has two weeks to get 20 pounds off or she can't have surgery...She is desperate will try anything....She is working out like a dog right now and drinking LOTS of water but, needs a quick diet...Thanks    — Dusty S.

When I went to my final consult before surgery my doctor told me I needed to try to lose 10 lbs in the week before. He put me on the Medifast program (full liquid supplements), and said it would work because a program like that causes the body to shed excess water (which makes up 50% of our bodies). The website is http://medifastdiet.com/. I also ran these shakes past my nutritionist, and she said they were okay to use post-surgery as they have much more in the way of vitamins and are less thick than some of the other recommended drinks. Good luck!

I had to lose about 15 before my surgery. I did mostly liquid diet. Which was basically what I was going to be on post op. I drank water, broth, popsicles (sugarfree) plus my protein drinks. I lost 11lbs in 8 days. When I absolutely need something to eat I ate only protein (an egg,piece of chicken, or bacon) and small amounts of it at that. Good luck !
