Thank you to everyone that responded... I’m doing a lot better than I thought I would.... Surgery was quick and easy... no major pain just soreness at the incisions and surprisingly I’m getting my fluids in, although I do have to constantly remind myself to drink water, etc. Hoping I advance in diet when I see her for my 1 week post-op check up! Thank you all for the well wishes

My PA actually mentioned this to me. "Most people will lose ten pounds plus or minus, but occasionally, you won't lose at all on the pre-surg diet. It doesn't mean you're broken. Don't panic if you don't lose." My PA is severely type one diabetic, and she, herself, didn't lose anything on the pre-surg diet. I had the good luck to lose a few pounds on it....but I know there are people who really don't, or who only lose a very minimal amount. It's ok. You're unusual, but not unheard of:)

Great work, well done.

Thank you!!!

Every plan is different, so I'd suggest calling your doctor and/or nutritionist to discuss what you can do. I definitely have problems with pills--vitamins or medications--when I don't have food in my stomach first. My pre-op plan was very different: protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, lean dinner with protein and veggies, one fruit per day. It was, in my opinion, much better than a liquid-only diet pre-op (although the last day was clear liquids only). But, again, check with your nutritionist. You may be able to do something different than you are doing now. Good luck.

You look amazing! Congrats!

sounds good! will have to try!
