I am so frustrated! I am not loosing weight during my pre op diet!! I have lost 13 pounds prior to starting this phase. What was funny was my dietician told me initially (1 month ago) I hadn't been eating enough (quality not empty calories) so I began to eat more (good for you foods not junk) and the weight began dropping. Now I haven't lost a pound in 8 days. I have gained!! I am strictly following my doctors orders . 2 shakes a day, 2-3 special snack bars, 4 oz lean meat & 2 cups steamed veggies.

Remember that the pre-op diet's purpose is to shrink your liver, so although you may not be losing pounds, hopefully your liver is shrinking down, and that's the important part.

This is probably a plateau. Like Cookies said, you are shrinking your liver. You are also helping your body get healthier.

I agree with the above statements!! The liver is the important part so just keep at it. If you are doing what you are told then it WILL happen!!!!!!! I went a few days wtih nothing too but eventually it kicked in and I am down 20 pounds now!

I also lost little Pre-op, but I was already no white sugar or flour for months before, so my liver just wasn't fatty! That sucks pounds-wise, but not recovery-wise.

Sounds like my pre-op diet is the same as yours and i've stopped loosing too. First 2 days i lost a total of 6lbs but now nothing for a week. Makes me nervous that my liver's not shrinking like it should but we both have to keep following the guidelines to a "T" and trust that out innards are cooperating!! Good luck!!
