So surgery is tomorrow on clear liquids today and bowl prep 🤢. But has anyone else lose very little on the pre surgery diet? I only lost 5 pounds

Tuesday is the day nervous here. I been doing the liver cleansing diet like the doctor ordered and only lost 5 pounds so far (almost two weeks). It’s protein shakes for breakfast and lunch (or 2oz of a lean protein) and then 3oz of protein and veggies and a starch for dinner. I see so many people lose so much on this and I have not. I also do CrossFit 3 times a week and hike a total 12 miles on weekends. Not sure if I have not lost a lot because my BMI is low to start it is 33%. Or my body storing it because it’s hungry and calories to low. Has anyone else not lost a lot on pre surgery diet

Bad for blood pressure and gain weight as soon as u go off of it. My friend did it and know she has the hardest time getting weight off since she did do it so many years ago. She said it totally messed up her system and changed it

I can not handle lactose either go to GNC and get a vegan protein powder u will thank me. Now they taste nasty but I don’t run to the bathroom after. I use unsweetened almond milk as well

You need to change ur protein drink I have IBD (inflammatory bowl disease) and u are having a reaction to the protein shake. I shop at GNC it’s a 30 day guarantee. If it dose not work my stomach I return it. I have to stay away from sugar alcohols (which is a lot of artificial sweetener) and anything lactose. I find I handle the vegan protein much better. I don’t have surgery tell Tuesday but I been trying out tons of protein shakes to figure out which works and dose not. I am trying isopure next they are sugar free gluten free and lactose free and 50 grams of protein a serving. Vegan ones are so expensive. But if I have to stick to it I will. I can’t help u with the hunger except when u get hungry get up and move. Serotonin helps hunger cravings and u get that natural release when u exercise

FYI I have nothing wrong with my thyroid

This might be off but I have not had my surgery yet but I have crohns and with this we go through periods of hair loss as well. It happens with flares I started to take a thyroid supplement postassium iodian and it stopped within a month. I also use monta now and have tons of new growth. Monta is a shampoo just cost a arm and a leg. I have not had new growth since I was 20 years old. I do not sell monta shampoo I buy from a friend of mine. I been amazed on my body and growth and the fact my hair dose not fall out. I am going to go back on the potassium iodine after surgery to help thyroid support. (I stopped taking it when my hair stopped falling out). With IBD it falls out with flares.
