Hmmmn, if your following the plan, I guess nothing... sometimed tge metabolism fights you when calories are cut so drastically especially if you were dieting before... if your in PM's, that can play a role... mmm not sure what else... medications perhaps?

No medicines or pills... and I can't really workout much because I have a hip issue need to loose the weight to get hip replacement surgery... I'm taking the same shake I was before the liquid diet...

Are you just on shakes or are you eating one meal a day too?

If so what do you usually have?

How much Water are you drinking ?

What is your starting weight?

Are you exercising?

Bums about the hip and they didn't even want me being active on the pre op liquid diet due to risk if hypoglycemia so I don't think exercise is tge issue...

Sounds like it might be your metabolism... you can always ask your clinic if there is anything you can do bc your worried... maybe someone here will have a better idea?!

You might need to increase your Protein. When calorie intake is too low, your weightloss will stall for a bit. Make sure you are still getting 60g at least of protein.

Count your calories. If you are taking in adequate calories then ask your nutritionist or surgeon. Also, did they do a metabolism test? If not, ask for that.

Best of luck, I know how frustrating weightloss stalls can be.

@@Bouncy, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Your metabolism maybe stalling. But, it will have to bow down when it's not getting any food for a while. I think you'll start losing by the 3rd day. If not contact your nutritionist/surgeon.

I am guessing you are just stalled out a bit. It will catch up as long as you are following the plan. Drink tons and tons of Water, it will help as well.

My metabolism was impacted as well. I was on a two week liquid diet similiar to your but i could not have the yogurt. just Protein shakes, broth, sf Jello, sf popsicles.

I ended up losing 13lbs by the time i hit surgery day.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
