How do you know if your liver is losing fat?

I am on the pre op diet and when I cut out the broths I lost 6 pounds in one day due to the high sodium levels I am staying away from them!

I have lost 14 pounds in 3 days and I still have 4 days to go! All I know is Friday is coming quickly and I am getting more and more excited!

Leslie that's bull my family is not 100 percent behind me on this but just like my husband says I was there for him in his hour of need he is going to be there for me!

Congrats to you Dani! I don't know about you but as Friday draws closer I am getting more and more excited! The reason I ask this question cause there is a girl at walmart the had weight loss surgery and she is real small on her top half but yet fairly large on bottom and that is my fear!

Ok I am having surgery Friday! But what I am wondering is with my pear shaped body(bigg butt big thighs a belly) where I should experience weight loss on my body!

I am getting 80 grams of protien a day and still have them

I am getting the shakes and normally eating helps but I am on pre op diet of liquid only!

I am on day three is real hard! I am so hungrey and tonight is a family dinner omg this is so hard eye on the prize! I also have the shakes like crazy which no matter how many how much chicken broth or protien shakes or jello I have! I want to cry!

@Roni77 I am on pre op diet liquids only and I am only in my third day! Its the hardest thing I have every done! Last night I almost cheated! Just get your self back on track but you need to tell your surgerion! I have found that keeping myself busy is helping but also I have a great support system which makes it easier!I also found that gum is my friend! FOOD NEVER TASTE AS GOOD AS HEALTHY FEELS! YOU CAN DO THIS!

Wow 27 pounds in that short of period of time has got to be mostly water! But heck a pound is a pound is a pound

Leslie you can! To be honest gum has been my best friend!

It took 2 weeks! But believe me I know its a slow wait but once the approval is in the wait seemed worth it!

The diet cocoa is 25 calories

I am on day 2 and I have already lost 5 pounds (which seems odd) I am having trouble getting in the calories my doctor wants me to mainly because I am so picky! My list of stuff I can have on my liquid diet is jello(sf) popsicles(sf) gum(sf) hot cocoa(diet) apple juice, broth(chicken or beef) and 60 to 80 grams of protein a day! My problem is a don't like the broths due to they are all way to salty for me! I don't use salt or cook with salt at all!

I feel like a cow honestly I have been eating what seems like all day! And still have not reached 600 calories yet!

Yeah I have noticed I have been craving cookies! I have also found that gum is a great friend in this game (sf of course)

I don't get hungrey until about 5 and I am still cooking for my family so that makes it even harder! But jello is my friend and so are popsicles! But I only have a week to this so I can do it! I weighed myself the day before I started my preop diet and I lose 5 pounds in one day!

This has been pretty hard! I just keep saying I can do this!

I start my pre op tomorrow and just went to the store and got water and jello and popsicles and chicken broth

I am like you I need to do this for myself and for my life! I am starting a journey and I can't look back now!

I start Friday on my pre op diet I can have sf popsicles sf jello my protien shakes with skim milk 60-80 per day low sodium broth which is fine with me I don't like salt any way!

I am getting Banded next Friday feb 8th! Reading what you wrote brought tears to my eyes! Knowing that you had a great experiece and journey let's me know I can do this!
