After yesterday being my first day on the pre-op liquid diet, I lost 4 pounds!!! Is that for real? Is it this easy????

At first you will lose a lot of water. That's normal and then it levels off. Any time you cut out carbs and sodium, your weight will drop quickly for a little while and then adjust accordingly.

The first thing that goes is water weight and some of us carry A LOT of it..esp obese people. I had to do two week liquid diet prior to surgery and after the first couple days it really wasn't that bad and by the 2nd week i wasn't even hungry. Good luck!
