This is my 2nd day of liquid diet. Doing ok. I also have the same diet as you and it isn't to loose weight but to shrink your liver so they can get to your stomach easier. Looking forward to my new life.????

This is absolutely correct. The point of the pre-op liquid diet is to shrink your liver. Some weight loss during this time is a signal to your surgeon that you did stick to the diet, but there is no target amount to lose. Almost all of the weight people lose on the pre-op diet is just Water weight anyway. The point of it is to shrink your liver by depleting it of glycogen. Glycogen is one of the reasons we retain Water. Once the liver is depleted of it, we will retain less water, thus a drop in water weight.
