My surgery is scheduled to be in exactly 7 days from today. I am required to ro a 3 day liquid diet so I do not haves to start until Sunday. However I have an appointment to recheck my weight on Monday. If I did not lose 4 lbs by then surgery will be re scheduled. I have been drinking mostly low or zero cal, eating salads without dressing, and have only lost 1 lbs since last week. I am terriried

Are you drinking enough Water? Did they give you the 3 day liquid diet instructions? Maybe you can start early. I had to start mine early. My last appointment I gained. He told me to start right away. He normally requires a 14 day so I now have a 16 day.

But I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I weighed myself today just to see. I am down 5.4 pounds since my visit with him.

I am drinking about 120 oz of water per day. 10 Cups of 12 oz each. I do have my clear liquid pre op instructions and decided to start today. Its just been caos around the home this past 3 days. To compensate the stress I was so stupid I ate a lrg pk of french fries on Monday followed by 2 baked chicken legs last night. If sister and husband continue with the drama, I will pack my bags and go to a hotel. They had never argued in 17 years and picked the wrong time to do so. I get stressed out and eat even more.

You can drink you colon cleanse drink (the one you drink 24-48 hours before surgery) I dropped like 8 lbs with in 24 hours.
