Today is day 4 post op and I'm allowed a full liquid diet but an afraid to go full liquids. I haven't lost weight since surgery and I'm scared that if I have more than Water and Protein drink that I won't lose weight! Help.

Don't be scared Lisa! Remember, God is in control! Take it slow and let Him take the pounds away!

Don't be scared your doctor gave you great guidelines to follow and you have wonderful resources here. I understand about boundaries, I have been tempted to pass the limits just to understand the were the limits are. Take care of yourself.

Lisa, I know it's scary but you have to eat to heal!! You need protein for your body, energy and your hair. It's ok. You will start to lose after the first week once all the fluids and gas is out of your body. Hugs!!

Try ordering the chicken broth from unjury.com. It's 20g of protein per 6 oz of water. The others are right, you do need your protein to heal. The soup saved me. I'm just over 6 mos post op and if there is one thing I know it's that no food = no weight loss. Up the protein & fluids and you WILL start to see the scale move! The soup, for me, was both protein and liquid rolled into one. Good luck!

Thanks everyone!

I was (what I felt) stuck at 30 pounds. I increased my Protein (wasn't getting enough) and I lost four more pounds.
