I I started my liquid diet a week early to make sure I loose all the weight I have to loose before surgery or they won't do it..... I'm on day 3 and have gained almost 2 pounds . What in the world !!!!!!!! Has this happened to anyone ????!? I've also noticed I don't use the bathroom as much

Your body probably thinks its starving itself. Don't panic & stay focused. Keep doing what you're doing & the weight will come off.

If your having issues "going," try adding flaxseed to any warm liquid. Mix it really well before adding the liquid. You can also try Smooth Move tea to help. That usually works by the next morning for me.

Congrats of getting the surgery. Best of luck, you'll do fine!!!

Thank you I sure do hope it comes off in was so so scared this morning when I stepped on the scale not to mention disappointed ...... And I did a lot if cardio yesterday took the kids to the zoo for an Easter hunt so we walked for hours and it was hot ..... I have to loose 10to 15 pounds by May 8 or I don't get my surgery I'm so tresses with all of this .

Not to mention I never thought u had an eating issue until now

Sounds Ike you may have been living a little dehydrated. Your body is just holding on to what it needs... For now

If you like tea, start drinking it. It's a natural diuretic!

They recommend no caffeine 2 weeks including the day of surgery decaf tea should be ok however they will probably want clear liquids 2 days prior the day of surgery

Ty all .... I'm not a tea lover but definitely willing to give it a shot . I just don't get how u can drop almost 2000 calorie intake daily and gain !!!!!!

We were doing one shake a day, mornings, and one lowfat meal at night. Lost almost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. Try to stay focused and eat those SF popsicles! Good luck!

Try not to weigh every day. It will drive you crazy. If you stick to the shakes and a lowfat meal at night... the weight will come off but it has to balance the fluids... and that takes a few days. Try not to stress as that can make you retain those pounds and cause you to eat things you shouldn't. Just relax and do the plan and nature will take care of the rest. Good luck with your surgery and hope you have a quick and uneventful recovery.

My preop was 3 protein shakes/ day plus unlimited leafy green veggies. I lost 22 pounds in 16 days! I only weighed 2 times during that time so I couldn't tell you exactly when it all came off. You will be fine if you stick with the plan.

I went through the exact same thing so I definitely can relate. I was very obsessive with weighing myself during the pre-op stage. Every morning I would weigh and if I didn't see the number I expected I would freak. Even went as far as calculating how much needed to be lost per day to hit my goal. So....After a week of everything going according to my plan when I weighed one morning and gained 3 pounds I freaked out!

My advice to you: trust your surgeon's program, trust yourself, drink lots of Water, and stay off the scale. Once I told myself to calm down, I got right back on track and had my surgery April 7th. You got this, don't worry! Before you know it, this will all be behind you and you'll be sleeved. Best of luck to you!
