Not losing weight on PreOp diet

Heys guys.....I've been on the pre-op diet for six days now and the only "cheat" I had was to take two small bites out of a McD's hamburger (no bun....just meat & cheese) and I feel like I should have lost more than two pounds in the past 6 days.

Am I expecting too much? Is this normal to NOT lose weigh on a pre-op diet? I'm having 2 Protein shakes a day (made with water) and 4 oz of lean meat with a half cup of veggies a day. I'm also allowed 2 servings of broth, 2 sugar free popsicles and 2 servings of sugar free Jello but I've only been having the broth and 1 popsicle a day with the Protein Shakes and the lean meat/veggies.

I'm getting frustrated over here and wondering if I'm going to be one of those people who no matter what is a very slow loser. Thanks everyone.

    Thanks guys.....it's just frustrating. I'll keep my eye on the prize and heck.....I've lost 20 lbs since starting the process in June so I shouldn't complain at all. I think I'll stay off the scale

  • I didn't notice a change on the scale until day 5...but of course I go super low carb and then miraculously have a period! I hope that after surgery I have tons of babies lol

My surgery is Monday, I'm still nervous, but I have been fighting this weight battle for 25 years. I know everything I have gone through the last 7 months and will go through the remaining days of my life will be worth it. I'm blessed to have a support group of friends and family.
