Pre-Op Diet and not losing any weight

[babylove8511 3]

I've been on this lousy liquid diet for what seems like forever now and I'm stuck at an 11lb loss. I still need to lose 7 more lbs in the next 5 days. I'm terrified if I don't lose the weight my surgeon is going to cancel the surgery. I don't know what to do. I'm sticking to the diet and not going off of it at all. I was at 260 then dropped to 249 then went up to 253 for a couple days then back down to 249 now for the last 3 days and have just been stuck. Any help is appreciated.

Drinking Boost (240 cal) 4 times a day(this is what was prescribed to me by the surgeon)

Water and sugar free sweet tea throughout the day.

Thanks,

Tina

Are you getting any exercise? A little bit of exercise that's different from normal might shake things loose.

Boost up the physical activity. Did your surgeon give you an ultimatum to loose a set amount of weight? If not, don't sweat it, the liquids are more for liver shrinkage and a shorter post-op recovery.

Hey, I am in a similar situation, my surgery is in the 27th of this month and my weight in is the 21st, still have to lose 4... If I reach a weight >210, then I start the liquid diet until surgery day. Good luck to you.

Yeah I was given an ultimatum that I had to lose the weight. I'm really stressing out. I have a hard time right now with boosting my physical activity because I recently injured my hip and am hobbling around on it and also dislocated my shoulder just yesterday trying to get a box off down off a shelf ????.

Are you expecting your period? Mine is due in a few days I've only lost 6lbs... But I don't have to lose a set amount. If I were you I would go get some laxative meds and a diuretic pill. Make sure you are drinking plenty of Water (like, a gallon a day) Also cut out the sweet tea. Just water and your Protein Drink. Good luck!!

Premier Protein drinks (at costco and Walmart) are delish and high Protein low sugar and carbs

I just got done with an 8 mile hike in the pouring down rain. I think that counts as physical activity. ????
