I have been on the Orr op diet now for 9 days- 3 Protein shakes a day and water- I cheated on day seven for one meal- I was 241 when I started the pre op diet and I've been sitting steady at 233 since I cheated but I haven't strayed since and won't before my surgery - ( surgery is December seventh )

Hello how you I'm having the same problem the first week I lost 6 pounds and every since then I haven't lost anything else I'm kind of worried because my surgery is next week and I was expected to lose 25 pounds on the liquid diet.

Have you been drinking enough Water? At least 64 ounces a day?

I have but not 64 ounces maybe 30 probably less but no less than 25 ounces some days I do good with drinking Water and some days I don't drink any at all because I'm so busy trying to get down the Protein drinks and Soups

And some days I just don't want to eat or drink anything at all because I'm just so sick of the Protein drinks and soups so sometimes I just drink Water

Sometimes I sip warm Water, which seems to help with the boredom of drinking all the water

Cheating for even one meal matters because it causes you to lose momentum. The Water matters because dehydration will halt weight loss. If you can't handle preop liquids you need to think about how you will manage post op restrictions and requirements. Evaluate and recommit.

My surgeon doesn't require me to be on all liquids at all- I was advised to have a Protein shake for Breakfast Greek yogurt with 1 oz nuts for snack 3 oz lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for lunch either 1 medium fruit or another shake for snack and 6 oz of lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for dinner if my second snack was a piece of fruit then I would need my second shake after dinner-

I personally am picking to do the liquid diet because I feel the results are better for reductions to the liver-

So I wouldn't really say inneed to re-evaluate myself - I ate one healthy meal over the last ten days--
