You could juice! Lol or just do your liquid diet ahead of schedule? :/

First of all, everyone is different. That said, I lost 15 pounds in 15 days (not a pound a day, it's been much more erratic than that). I drink 2-3 Protein shakes a day, and have 1-2 meals that include lean protein (usually chicken or fish) and non-starchy veggies. I can have 1-2 tbsp of a healthy oil with my veggies (olive oil, avocado). I'm not allowed any dairy, alcohol, or simple carbs (Pasta, rice, bread, oats, etc.). This is my liver shrinking diet - it's not all liquid, like so many other diets, yet I've still lost weight, even with my calories in the 1200-1400 range. I've been surprised at the weight loss, as I thought I wouldn't be as successful not being on an all-liquid diet. Anyway. This worked for me - I'm just offering it as suggestion. As others have mentioned, you could try a liquid diet too.

Your best bet would be to do a version of the more strict pre-op liquid diet. Mine was:

• 3 Protein shakes a day, no more than 150 calories each
• 1 green salad with sugar-free dressing or vinegar
• unlimited sugar-free Jello and popsicles

Thank you guys .... I really hope I do lose the weight it would be so sad they'd cancel due to not losing the weight
