So I'm actually 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery but decided to start my liquid diet early because my surgeon threatened me that if I didn't loose more weight before my pre-op visit he would cancel it. I have been doing the liquid diet now for 8 days. I was on a roll and had lost 11 lbs as of Sunday the 6th day. Then the morning of the 7th day I weigh myself and I have GAINED 4 lbs!! WTF! How is that even possible? I weighed myself again today and it's the exact same as yesterday. I'm so confused what is the problem? I just finished my menstrual cycle so it surely can't be that. My pre-op visit is next week and I need to lose 11 lbs from were I am right now! It was so much better the other day. I only had 6 lbs to lose. I feel like I'm so screwed. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Tina

So sorry to hear you are struggling. What are you eating on your liquid diet? It might help to understand your current diet in order to help you.

I'm drinking Boost liquid nutrition 4 times a day.

Is Boost what she told you to use? Boost has 240 calories, I don't know the rest of the details. Get Premier Protein - 130 calories, 30 grams protein.

Yeah my surgeon told me I have to use Boost 4 times a day. He said the premier protein isn't a complete nutrition drink and doesn't have all the nutrients in it that I need.

Time of the month? More water?
