I have been on my Pre-op diet for 6 days now and have only lost 5 pounds!! I have faithfully followed the 2 shakes/1 Lean Cuisine rule and I am so disappointed and pissed off and hungry I could scream! I am having surgery on Thursday and am supposed to be down 5 more pounds by then. How in the heck is that going to happen? Why am I not losing more weight when I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing? I'm so upset right now.

please note that the pre liquid diet (is not about losing weight).

it is getting your body/liver ready for surgery. its only Water weight.

but it is a loss.

please think healthy and do not even worry about losing weight until your surgery is over and you are healed. you can do this. its for your own well being.

my dr if the liver is too large, they wont operate. so i did not cheat. for that reason alone.

I was also on a liquid diet. Fourteen days, and full liquids. It's a big mental process. Best of luck!
