Pre-pre-op diet question

[Softtacocrumbs 12]

So, I will be starting my pre-op diet in a little less than a month, but I wanted to test a few of the things in the plan to make sure my body reacts well to it. Usually what I do when I'm testing things, I've done this all my life to see if I'm intolerant to certain foods, is to Water fast (fasting all food items other than pure water, no sweeteners or liquid calories) before I start just to wash my body clean.

I decided to get on the scale to just see how things looked. I know logically I can gain fat if I don't eat those calories, but how did I gain 2lbs on a water fast? I'm so scared. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I haven't even started the pre-op diet yet. Can I get some guidance?

Water weight... Just wait til you have the surgery and get out of the hospital. You will gain several pounds due to water weight (IV Fluids) you generally fluxuate a couple pounds everyday

I am dreading the two week pre op was wondering do they give you an appetite suppressent at any point in the process? I know that is a strange question , just curious.

Really find this forum so helpful!
