It seems to me that you would lose some weight when you first go liquids,however, after reading many posts it doesn't seem to be the case. Would someone mind explaining this a little? thx:help:

It seems some people do lose and some don't. I didn't. I was told that I couldn't get in enough calories per day just consuming liquids so the body sometimes reacts with an almost starvation mode response.

I don't know for sure but I'd agree that I was NOT getting proper nutrition while on liquids. I had trouble concentrating and felt a little worn out during the liquids stage. There's only so much Soup you can force yourself to drink in a day so I drank as many Protein shakes and sugar free juice as I could stand, but it still didn't add up to much!

I lost on the pre-op diet and then a little more post-op but it was mostly a challenge to maintain my losses until I got decent restriction... on fill #3.
