Thanks everyone for the replies. My surgery is tomorrow and I've now lost 5 or 6 pounds while on the liquid diet. I was expecting closer to 10 but we will see what the final number is in the morning I suppose. I'm not freaking out about not losing weight anymore, lol! I'm nervous now about surgery in general, but I'm sure it will all go well!

Thanks so much! I have lost another pound, so I've calmed myself down some. Those shakes seem to have more Fiber in them than I was getting before, so that may have been part of the issue as well. That aspect of things seems to be better, or at least more like what I was expecting so I'm thinking it will be better these last few days. Thanks again!

I'm a little more than halfway through my preop liquid diet (sleeve scheduled for December 16th!) and I'm concerned that I'm not losing any weight. My surgeon recommended Bariatric Advantage shakes, along with Clear liquids. I do 3 of the shakes a day (his recommendation) along with Water, broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free power aid. I've only lost 1 pound since starting the preop diet. Is this normal? I'm terrified that my liver will not have shrunk enough and he won't be able to do my surgery. Am I worrying too much?
