My surgery was on November 26, 2021. I just hoped it worked because I only lost 13 pounds and it's been 16 days. The past few days I haven't lost any weight.

Also my doctor had me on a 14day liquid diet...I did the atkins protein shakes, chicken and beef broth, sugar free popsicles....

I followed the pre-op diet without cheating and my liver was still too big....they said that my liver was 3 to 4 times it's size but they still did the surgery....it just took them longer. They said the reason my liver was so big was because of my morbid obesity. I weighed 283 at time of surgery. They said my liver wasn't damaged but if I would continue to eat bad that the next step is liver damage. So u will be o.k.

Thanks guys that really helped me...

I started at 302 also and my surgery was also on June 4th. I was put on a very strict liquid diet. However since the surgery I have not lost anymore weight...hopefully I will start losing again. I'm still on a strict diet but not as strict as before the surgery. My calorie intake is under 1000 cal.

Thanks for the response...I guess I'm paranoid because I was thinking I only lost the 26 pounds because I was starving my self...by drinking only liquids...I'm scared because now that I'm eating again...but I didn't return to my old habits...but I just thought two weeks after surgery that I should of at least lost a pound or two...but I guess you right.

I just had surgery two weeks ago and I'm not losing anything....the scale showed that I gained a pound and I am following the strict diet and eating less than a 1000 calories...I am so discouraged. I haven't had a fill yet but I need it quick. While on the liquid diet I only lost 26 pounds...so now the scale stays at 277...I am so lost. I been keeping a log of what I eat...I can't really excercise because I have bad disc in my neck and back...so I am stuck
