The thought of them sewing me back up and sending me home because my liver was too big, was enough to scare me into knowing from day 1 that I would not cheat even a little bit! Even if the risk is small, I was not about to take that risk. I would say for me, the 4th day was the hardest! I've practiced doing it for 3 days off and on to get a feel for what it would be like, so when I actually started it and that 4th day hit...I went a little crazy! Then it got better, and now it just feels normal. I'm on day 18 of a three week liquid diet, and I'm definately tired of it...but it feels normal, if that makes any sense!

I posted a similar topic last night because I'm day 18 of a three week liquid diet and I've only lost 9 pounds. 8 the first week, which is mainly water weight I'm sure, 1 pound the next week, and so far this week i've been up and down one pound. So I feel your frustration! I personally have never at any regular food since 7 PM the day before my liquid diet! I've been determinded to stick with it and not let myself cheat even a little bit, I've even tried to get back into a daily exercise routine that I've let myself slip out of the past couple of weeks. So to me, it's super frustrating to be working so hard and suffering through this miserable liquid diet, with little results. Everyone keeps reasurring me that it will happen and to not let myself be discouraged. I'm going to start tracking my measurements too, because a lot of people say there will be success from loosing inches even when you're not losing pounds.

I'm also on a just protein drink and no calorie liquid diet. It's the carnation instant breakfast in the blue box with protein mixed in. I honestly meant it when i say i never cheated and ate real food (i did in my dreams a lot though lol!) I even have been getting at least 15-30 min of exercise in, which I know isn't a lot but it has to be better than nothing! It's just frustrating.

Hi! I'm new to the forum so I apologize if this is a common question. I have my surgery on Monday the 18th and am doing a three week liquid diet before. The first week I lost 8 pounds, the second week one pound, and now it's Wednesday of the third week and I'm back up a pound. Has anyone else experienced this? It really makes me worried that maybe the surgery won't work if I can't even lose weight not eating at all!! And no, I've never cheated and are real food. Any thoughts?
