My day is the 26th as well and I can't wait. I went to the support group on Thursday night and I am so excited. I was nervous after speaking with my supervisor on Monday and she literally interrogated me (as is we hadn't already discussed it). But I'm SOOOOOOO much better now.
I can do all things!

Hello!! I am on Jan. 26th as well and I'm SUPER excited! A little nervous but mostly excited. I'm day 7 on the liquid diet and really thought the weight would come off faster but I think I've only lost maybe 3 lbs!! The first 2 days I had a HORRIBLE headache, I thought maybe I was just in shock to not be eating real food but I wanted to be 100% sure I was doing it right so I got out all the labels and did the math and found out I was only getting:
720 calories (should be 1300)
34g carbs (less than 100g)
80g protein (between 90-120g)
No wonder I had a headache! I was barely sustaining myself. So I made some adjustments (added soup for dinner). I can't find a post that talks much about what people are eating (drinking) for the 2 week diet so I'm hoping someone will see this and tell me if I'm missing something. I know my pre-op diet is to shrink the liver and not necessarily lose weight but I was under the impression that people drop it like crazy...I worry that my 2 days of nearly starving myself at 720 calories put the kabosh on losing.
protein shake for breakfast, lunch and dinner (all 20g protein each)
chicken bouillion (15g protein) for lunch with SF jello
drink mix in (16g protein) with some carrots (I'm allowed any non-starchy raw or cooked veggies, parkay no fat spray if steamed/sauteed)
steamed mushrooms
98% fat free cream of (chicken/mushroom/broccoli) soup (added this for calorie sake)
celery with 2tbsp peanut butter to get me in the protein range
I feel like I'm following to a T and am now hitting the ranges but the weight loss isn't there....
Ideas?
