You don't say how long you have to do this, but I can tell you how I did it for my required 10% pre-op. I had an english muffin, toasted, for breakfast, with 1/2 tsp of jelly. For lunch I had a lean cuisine. For dinner I had another lean cuisine and small salad or large salad with turkey or chicken. No more than 1 tbs of dressing on the salad. I lost 27 lbs in 10 weeks. It will only work for a quick fix cause you burn out on the lack of variety. Good luck to you.

Atkins diet! You're not deprived, because the amt of food isn't limited. I lose a pound a day and still use this if I get off track. I find all my cravings disapear when I'm not eating carbs.

You did not say how long you have to lose the 10% or how much the 10% is, I have several ideas. Like one poster suggested use the Atkins, but that would be good if you have atleast 2 weeks or more. You could go on the Slimfast, were you drink one meal, for fast results, and if you are diabetic, stay away from that. Do you have any edemia, swelling, the doctor put me on dietridics (sp) and I had 6 lbs weight loss in one week and he told me that I would lose 10 to 15 total. But watch that, you have to have a potassium supplement with it. If you have some time, just cut down on your portions, eat more protein and very little carbs, and drink alot of water to flush out your system. Hope this helps

I had to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks or my surgery would be rescheduled. I went on Atkins, did Nordic track for 15 minutes and day and took the dog for a 1 mile walk almost every day. I lost 18 pounds in a week! On Atkins I was never hungry, although I'm glad I only had to do it for a week. Good luck... I know you can do it.

I had to lose 115 lbs before surgery, and I did it in 6 and a half months by following a very strict less than 20 grams of carbs a day version of the Atkins diet and drinking a gallon and a half of water every day, since my surgery I have lost another 95 pounds, Good luck to ya, if you put your mind to it it really works.

I had to lose 10% before surgery and my nutritionist put me on a Protein Sparing Diet. It's high protein, low carb and low fat. Ask your doctor about it. I lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks on it.

Hey Love, I posted this before, and I will post it again, for you. I loss weight three times(60lbs,72lbs, & about 43lbs) utilizing the "T-Lite" diet pills -- you lose 10lbs in three days, you read it correctly. Just make sure it says on the bottle "you can lose 10lbs in 3 days"(follow the strict meal diet for the three days), because their are other diet pill programs by "T-Lite". I always puchased mine from Rite-Aid. Hope this helps!
