Generally speaking, the pre-op diest is NOT about losing weight...

It's about getting rid of the fat that has collected around your liver...

I'm sure someone else can expand on this (or correct me if I'm wrong)...

The surgeon needs to get in there and the fatty liver bits can screw things around...

Chances are, you're doing NOTHING wrong..

Just keep at it...

Don't let the perception of no loss get inside your head..

3-4 pre mixed Protein shakes (Premier Protein & Pure Protein) per day was my pre op diet. There was simply no way that I couldn't lose weight during this time. It was guaranteed.

Losing weight isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of fact, it's happening or it isn't. If the number on the scale is changing, there's your answer. What are you really asking or saying? Are you merely nervous about your new undertaking? If so, that's cool. Many people are. You'll be fine.

Thanks and I know its about reducing the fatty around my liver. But also it was suppose to make me lose weight as well. The dietitians stated that I should lose about 10 to 15 pounds doing the 2 week diet.

That's too much protein for me!!! Only because men build more muscle mass then a woman. My protein intake is only 70 grams per day. I had forgotten about it and was drinking 90 only becus I switched to premiere protein. I think that was the cause of me not losing. So back to chocolate high protein slim fast Water and broth and bye bye premiere protein. Thanks for the advice though;-)

I will find out tomorrow or today if I lost when I get on the scale. But to me I think I didn't. If so the reason could have only been becus I was taking in too much Protein then the dietitian told me to take in. But I have one week left to get back on track. Trust me I will and thanks to you all for the support and encouragement.

20 extra grams of protein in a low calorie shake would not cause you not to lose. Make sure to drink alot of water and watch sodium and sugars.

I'd agree with Kristen, I don't think the extra Protein could be fouling you up. If you're doing full liquids with 3 Premier Protein shakes, that's a total of a mere 480 calories. Unless you have some other calorie source, I can't see how you couldn't be losing considering a Very Low Calorie Diet would be something like 800 calories.

I agree plus Slim Fast has too much sugar

I also use Premier and I was told to consume 100g of Protein a day. I honestly think every surgeon is different and goes by different things.
