@@vegbeth I wouldn't worry, some people have 2 weeks pre op liquid diets or more, some have only a week or only a day and some have none! every doctor has their own thing and depending on how they even do the surgery, depends on if they need the liver shrunk, plus in your labs they check your liver maybe yours has shrunk when you had to lose the 60 lbs to where your doctor isn't worried about it, but dont stress your doctor knows best for you, when is your surgery date? maybe it isn't close enough to were they told you the diet yet? i only found out a week before i had to start mine

How are you living off 400-500 calories a day?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!

My pre op liquid diet only allows 500 calories a day and 50g carbs, max.

50 carbs is almost 500 calories on its own. Who wrote this pre-op diet?

Congrats! I lost 21 pounds in my first 2 weeks after surgery. The first 20-30 pounds come off very quickly because it's mostly Water. It'll slow down a bit after that, but you'll still lose at a good pace.

My NUT. I get 3 Protein Shakes, 2 SF Jello cups, 2 SF popsicles, and a can of broth for dinner per day. I can have all the Water, Decaf tea/coffee that I want. I'm at the end of day 4 today ... I'm surviving.

I started my liquid diet today and I am so hungry and angry.. my surgery is Dec 21st. I know that this will help get my mind in the right mode but this is so hard.. cheating is not an option for me I have to do this. I'm 278 pounds and I take a lot of maintenance medications....
