Pre-opp and fluids.

[Beck90 189]

Some people suggested I get my body used to more liquid during my preopp diet (it's not a Fluid. Mostly reg food but 800 cal). Because now I only drink about 30 oz a day.

Now. I have to confess. I've never had a diet really succeed. I've never seen the numbers go down. So I was excited since a lot of people say they lost on this liver diet.

But if I work to double my fluid won't the Water weight keep me from losing

No, as long as you stay within your calorie range you'll still lose. Your kidneys will get rid of the extra fluids.

no, it works quite the opposite actually. your body will hold on to Water like mad if it is not getting enough, but when you drink enough it lets it go. during preop and before you are likely getting a good amount of fluids from food sources, but after the surgery you simply eat very little food.

give it a try, you might give your weight loss a boost!

@@Beck90 Absolutely not! Water will help you lose weight. Just about every diet out there has one thing in common - increase Water consumption.

Well definitely have today... 24 oz Protein shake.. 17 oz mio Water, 17 more oz Water with supper. and that's just so far. lol.

Water is important, your liver stores crap it can not eliminate in your fat. As you loose weight rapidly on the liver shrinking diet and then post op.all those toxins will be re released into your blood for your liver to re process. You need to drink lots to help your body flush them out. Also post op drinking is a %%#\+ ( i am 6 weeks out..i drink maybe 6 glasses a day yet I am always sipping)
