I am on my pre op diet, which consists of 2 shakes and a low or no carb meal at night. I thought i was doing great on weight loss (10 lbs) and now i weigh myself and im up 3 today

What the heck!!! I hope the band helps me more with keeping the weight off. Im following the instructions and have been to the gym 3 times this week allready. Any advice would help.

I'm on a similar pre-op diet (2 more days!!!). 3 protein shakes, high protein low carb. I can hve a small piece of lean meat and a light salad for dinner and I haven't lost a single pound in over a week... actually this morning it was up 2. I haven't gone off plan once so I know it's not me. All I can think is I'm taking in 800 or less calories a day at the moment... may be too few for my body to lose on. OR, the chicken broth I've been enjoying as a fake meal has too much sodium and I'm retaining water! But I had read a lot of people not losing on their liquid pre-ops so I'm not freaking out yet!

The pre-op diet isn't so much about losing weight as it is shrinking the fat around your liver. Weight loss just happens to be a wonderful side effect of it for most people.

You're doing fine You'll get through this and get your band and be on your way!

thankyou shay...I was starting to think....man is the band gonna work?

Funny I wrote about this yesterday as well and wonder if the band will work but i gotta stay positive and stop second guessing...just because i havent seen lbs drop doesnt mean my clothes dont fit better. it's hard to stay positive i know but i gotta have faith if it has worked for thousands of people what makes it not work for me? only I can determaine if it will work and that is what it all comes down to.
