I've done 2 days, to the letter, of my liquid diet and haven't lost an ounce.

Has anyone else experienced no loss of weight on the liquid diet?

I posted this 3 yrs ago, a year after I had completed my 2 week pre-op diet. It was read by quite a few people, and some found it helpful. Perhaps it will encourage you?

Good luck! Stay with it!

Your body is in "freak-out" mode. It will come off. Stressing won't help your case. You got this!!

I lost a few pounds on the liquid diet pre op. The five days I was away with surgery only on ivs/liquid diet I figured when I got home I would have lost at least 7 pounds or so. Nothing! Nada. I was bummed. Liquid diet since surgery 7 days ago. 8 pounds.

Sometimes your body will have to adjust to what is going on. Don't fret.

Thanks Dave Benedict! I'll try not to fret!

Thanks webchickadee! I appreciate you sharing! I'm finding the preop diet relatively easy and I'm not feeling bad about doing it - I'm just worried about not losing! On the other hand, knowing myself as I do, if I'd had great weight loss on liquids, I'd probably have decided to just do liquids forever, cancelled my surgery, be back to my wicked old ways diet wise in very short order then be living in chubby regret that I didn't go ahead with surgery!

Lessoftay. ..you're probably right. As steadfastly as my body is hanging on to every ounce though I may, in fact, be in extreme freak - out!

I have been taking the pre-op diet pretty well until today. This is day 6 and my stomach refuses to STFU. On the plus side I haven't had a gout flare up since I started the diet so I guess I can handle a little belly music in exchange for weeks of a gout attack.
