I have been on my pre-op diet for 5 days shy of 2 weeks. I am permitted to eat 2 cups of vegetables, 3-4 protein shakes and any sort of clear liquid. I have been following it, perhaps eating a little more than 2 cups of vegetables and more like 3 or 4 but nothing else. I was weighed today and found that I lost 3 pounds but was told by a friend of mine that did the same surgery that she lost 12. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or not and am concerned if there is a correlation between the amount of weight you lose pre-op amd the shrinkage rate of your liver. I am nervous that I have not successfully shrink my stomach if I had not lost much weight. I am scheduled for surgery this Monday. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
