| Question about liquid diet
Hi i was hoping someone can give me some advice....
I am getting married in 70 days, I have had my band since Oct/07, so far I have lost 63 lbs, however I ordered my dress in advance a few sizes too small, anticipating my weight loss.
Now with only a few weeks to go I would like to lose another 20 pounds. I have no restriction right now as I am awaiting my new insurance. I can't afford 500 for a fill, with the wedding coming up.
I have maybe 3 inches to lose in order to fit into my dress.
MY QUESTION IS:
I lost 15 pounds pre-op on the liquid diet, do you think it would be safe for me to do protein shakes as meal replacements for a few weeks- like 4? I will be getting in over 90 grams of protein, and I take a vitamin every day as well as drink a lot of water?
Do you think this will be ok/safe?
Thanks in advance!!!!
