On the liquid diet I have lost 6.5 pounds in 4 days, I know some of you have probably lost way more but on account I've been the same weight since August 2015, yes thats the correct year lol been the same weight for over a year, ive managed to only fluctuate by like 2 pounds but not actually keep losing so I'm so happy to see what the next 10 days bring and then also after surgery liquid diet sucks for sure, you may of seen the post i posted before about it but I'm beginning to see how beneficial it is not just to shrink liver but its teaching me I'm more head hungry then actually hungry! before I just ate cause I saw it and would think to myself I like how that item taste lets eat it! But now that I can't have all those yummy things I wish I could I'm not even hungry and all I'm eating is 2 protein shakes a day, a couple sugar free popsicles, 1-2 sugar free jello, and a whole bunch of water and crystal lights, but I'm not dying of hungry, I'm still wishing i could be eating all the food the rest of my family is because I'm seeing it and dreaming about how i know it taste so good haha but I'm not actually hungry for it

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.

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

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....
