Hi, I am on a 2 week liquid diet and my surgery is on Monday. Anyway, not to get too personal but I'm just at the end of my time of the month....Also, my liquid diet is only whey protein (1-2shakes a day for 170 calories each) sf pudding, sf jello, light soup broth, light creamy soup broth strained etc. I just go on the scale and I'm only down 1 pound and I'm freakiing out....I was hoping for atleast 8lbs. does anyone have any insight?? Oh and I have not cheated at all. my caloric intake daily is 750. This lack of losing is making me scared that maybe my body just holds onto my fat and I won't lose with the sleeve.....HELP

It's probably due to TOM. I'm guessing the scale will go down after it's over.

Close to getting your monthly?

^^ She said it's almost over so, she'll probably get a swoosh on the scale after that.

Oh.. Duh. I totally missed that! I just started mine and I have lost 9 lbs hope its more like 14 since I usually retain 5 lbs of water although I do not feel the least bit bloated on this pre op diet. I am ravished though. :/

Losing 9 lbs during your cycle is GREAT!

You'll be fine - your body is going thru a lot...your time of the month and drastically cutting down on calories.

Make sure you're drinking plenty of Water and following your plan. You're going to do great. Don't panic - that could lead to bad decisions or going off plan.

You're body is going to lose at it's own pace - you can only control what you put in your mouth.

I started liquids today and will start my period any minute now. I'm glad to see I am not alone. You're almost there Hun!
