Liquid Diet question

I have been on the liquid diet for 4 days...and didn't cheat! But the weight that they said would come off is not happenening. Anyone else experience this? I have 3 protein shakes a day broth jello SF of course and crystal lite I am feeling like if I can't loose weight with this, how am I gonna loose with the band?

Gina, I also was on the liquid diet and I did not see results intill day 6, I only lost 10lbs and that because my nutritionist told me I can have chunky soup no beef or pork. I was not staying full with just the liquids and broth so this is what she recommended for me.banded 1/18/06 Teona

I have been on the liquid diet for 5 days. My doctor has me drinking 5 protein shakes a day. I have not cheated either but I hate these shakes! I am just starting to show a loss on the scales. 3-4 pounds. Try not to worry about the weight part. I know it is depressing to get on the scales and they are not moving but you will do good with your band. Do not give up. You have worked hard to get this far. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

I am a person who goes into shakes when not having enough protien. I have been on the diet for 3 days and tonite i had one thin slice of turkey and one slice of cheese. I am supposed to have 5 shakes a day but I can't stand it! I am trying so hard and felt so guilty but I feel like at least I made a healthy choice and didn't go have a whole pizza like I wanted!!Tomorrow I will do much better.

I found a few shakes that are great... I went into Vitamin world at the mall and they let me sample some..I got this great big Protein Shake thing, which is like 5 pounds and it was only $26 bucks!!! And it's wild strawberry...so a change! You should go try a few shakes, tell them what surgery you are gonna have and they will let you try a few ..... It helped me, as I got tired of the same shakes all the time! Thanks for all the messages, it really helped me!

Gina, Try not to worry about the weight loss right now. It will happen. The reason for the liquid diet (no fats) is for a safer surgery - to help shrink you liver and abdomen. Marilyn
