I am on day 6 of my pre op liquid diet and have only lost 1.6 pounds. I have been following it faithfully but getting such poor results. My biggest concern is that my surgery gets cancelled. He gave me a three week all liquid diet and said I'd probably lose 20 pounds but at this rate I'd be lucky to lose 5!

OMG, 3 weeks is a long time! My preop diet is 2 weeks of very low carbs, lots of lean protein & veggies. Did your doc tell you that you had to lose a specific amount of weight?

What does your preop diet consist of? I need to start mine earlier!! I am freaking out too!!! Tell me everything your doing.

I am on day 8 of 2week liquid diet. I have lost 6lbs. I am getting around 550-700 calories a.day with protein shakes and one cup of tomato soup. I have surgery 11th and a little.apprehensive but excited.

He said he's hoping I lose 20-30 pounds in three weeks. I asked his PA if my surgery would be cancelled if I don't lose that amount and she said only if I gain. So I'm prob worried for nothing but I feel like if I'm working this hard and hungry all day I should have more results on the scale!

My pre op diet is 5 Protein shakes a day plus broth if I need savory. But even though I'm following it I'm not seeing the results I should so I don't know...

That's great!

How many calories are all the 5 shakes equal to?

Where are you? What state? I just looked on your profile to see who your doc was but you don't have that info entered yet. Just wondering if it was the doc I was going to have before I switched program facilities.

In CA getting sleeved at Orange Coast Memorial by Peter LePort. What about u? My surgery is June 19th. And the slow loss could also be my periods gonna start next week and I typically lose 4-5 pounds in Water. So well see.

Pixie, how do I add that info to my profile? I looked but didn't see an add or edit feature. Maybe I need to use my computer.

Are you pooping? Sorry but it's an honest question. My protein shakes constipated me something terrible so I had to cut back on them. Drink more water, poop, no snacks or nibbles, walk and you should lose.

No I am stopped up. Maybe pooping every other day. Also it's the end of my cycle so I'm thinking after my period next week I should drop some Water weight.

Constipation could be part of it. Are you able to exercise at all? I am one week down, one week to go of pre-op diet. I force myself to go to the gym even though I'm tired and woozy during the day. I guess every surgeon is different. Mine is not so concerned about pre-op weight loss so much as liver shrinkage.

No I have to admit I haven't been exercising. Just too dizzy and tired. But I should start.

Your body might be just trying to get used to the change! Probably in a few days/start of next week you will see a different loss. I think dr. are more concerned with your organs shrinking to do the surgery better, and just for you to get used to the liquid stage for after surgery.
