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 :-)

worry not! The scales does not tell the whole story!
