Pre op liquid diet, Day 8 of 15.

I lost 6 pounds the first two days then stalled the last five days. This morning I got on the scale and was happy to see the stall broken, down almost another three. I weighed after my BM and shower and figured I'd weigh again after I dried off.

Dry hair and feeling like I was gonna be a full three pounds down, I stepped on the scale to be bewildered by a two pound increase, half a pound difference from where I have been the last five days. I was dry, naked and hadn't eaten or drank anything yet and so I am now ready to freak out, give up and eat all the burgers. This b******t makes no sense! I am on the verge of tears all the time.

I have done low carb diets in the past and lost 38 pounds in two weeks. Now I'm on liquids for 15 days and losing nothing. I'd rather make sensible choices and lose the weight then this pointless suffering for nothing. I know it'll help for when I'm out of surgery and blah blah blah but ffs I'm BEYOND frustrated. If I'm denied surgery after all of this I might kill some one.

At this point I don't need support, I need a gosh darn lobotomy.

Hope everything goes well!! Update us when you can!

Good luck to both of you!

I was 2 weeks before the surgery on liquids as well as 3 weeks after. My daughter told me if I did the 5 weeks right, I would never have to do that again. My surgery was 11/12/12 so I was on liquids for Thanksgiving and pureed foods for Christmas. I have lost 91 pounds and my weight fluctuated day to day. I remember I was in tears in the beginning, wondering what I had done to myself and feeling sorry for myself. I went from 225.5 at my highest to 134.2 so am close to goal. You can do this, but don't stress about the scale. Was wearing 22/24 or 2x and am now wearing 12P and got into my daughter's 8P. Not sure I could sit in them though!

oh my dear I understand very clearly what your going through. I was going through Weight Loss Forever and they wanted me to spend another 2000 to have a cardiologist in the room. My BMI was 47.2 and they still wanted to charge me even when I was like 2 mths and half away from surgery... Thought that was crazy to spend close to 16000 for Dr Pompa.... My family physician thought it was scammish and she encouraged me to starve myself. Lol sounds crazy and I also started taking laxatives etc... I was beating myself up for like 3 wks and then I decided to give up on that weight loss forever agency! I found someone way way better then Dr Pompa and the ridiculous prices they where charging. I have to go on a 3 wk liquid diet before Dec 14 as that's my surgery date in Mexico! Do all that you can but I was reminded stress adds to no weight loss! You will do great let go off the scale! Hugs
