I'm on day 9 of pre-op liquid diet have not cheated and I haven't lost anything I'm being sleeved this Friday. Some days I only had 2-3 shakes instead of 5 maybe my metabolism slowed down because of that :( I feel like I lost bloat and Water but my scale stayed the same not happy:( I didn't exercise it was hard enough just not to eat . Anyone else in the same boat??

This sounds like me to a 'T'. I am on day 5 of my pre-op with 5 more to go and I weighed yesterday so excited to see my progress...Well, I have only lost 1 lb and I was so discouraged last night!!! I have also lost the bloat but no weight. I can't wait to have surgery on Monday so I can feel like what I'm doing is actually working!

Exactly how I feel it doesn't help that I'm on low dose of prednisone and my thyroid doesn't work which makes it harder :( can't wait until Friday for my surgery either !! Maybe I'll be a few ounces lighter when my stomach comes out Lol

Sounds like your body has gone into starvation mode and is trying to hang on to all that it can. If its your surgeons orders I guess that's ths way he wants it. Hang in there

Since the primary role of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver hopefully the shakes did that even though the rest of you wasn't participating :-)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
