by following your dr's (pre op diet) i am sure your liver

will be just fine :)

did your dr say to lose a specific amount? if not, dont worry about losing weight. you are preparing your body for surgery. just roll with it and do what the dr said to do.

I lost a total of 8 lbs so far on my pre op. This is my last day of those vile liquids.

I have lost 22 lbs since Christmas (inluding the pre op) so I am happy with the results.

If you are doing everything right on your pre op diet then I wouldnt worry about how much weight you are losing. Lots of good things are happening inside your body that you cant see to prepare you for the surgery.

They didn't give me a set amount to lose. Ok I feel better now. I thought I would lose like 20 lbs, LOL

Are you exercising? My doctor wants at least 30 minutes 7 days a week.

I'm sure its fine everybody is different.. My doctor told sme ppl lose 10-20lbs n sme only lose 5-8lbs it doesn't matter as long as u r losing smething.. I lost 5.2lbs n today is day4 for me u still have 7days so u never knw u may lose 5 to 10 more lbs jus hang in there..oh n my period is on also..

I think it wild how all doc are different with different rules.... We have to show a 10 lb weight loss before surgery. Day 9 and I've lost 12 lbs! My husband about 15! I keep telling morsel it's 5 days and a wake up!

Pre op wt loss

Doesn't really matter how much weights lost even though some doctors set a specific amount. Me personally I'm working out doing cardiograph plus weights. The more off can only help decreasing surgery complications . And in regards to your period I work in heath field I truly believe its do to the stress your under.
