Topic: RE: not losing on liquid diet....HELP!

Amanda,

Keep doing what your doctor wants you to do and you will be A-OK.  Keep you're eye on the prize ahead (your surgery date) and the weight will come off as it is supposed to.  Every surgeon has their own idea about pre-op diet.  Mine was a week of 3 slim fasts a day and clear broth soup and that was all.  Was I hungry.... yep, but I drank water until I felt like I was going to float away and that helped curb the hunger.  The other thing about the pre-op diet is not only does it shrink the liver, it helps to reframe your head for the post op liquid diet.  I am day 10 post op and still on liqruids and thicker soups.  I am not hungry at all, in fact I watch the clock to remind me to "eat".  You will get through this and do very well, I am most sure.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery. 

Hugs,
Barb

Sounds like your working hard at it. don't focus on the weight loss that will come. If you get that fatty liver out of the way you will have done your part. Make sure your drinking lots and lots of water to flush everything through I know its hard because your on so many liquids and not very thiristy but this is the trick. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
