pre-op weight loss

I have been on my pre-op diet for five days now, no cheating.  I have only lost two freakin pounds.......how can this be.  I am so discouraged.  I was not told I had to lose weight but I thought I would lose something being on an all liquid diet.  Now I am worried I may not lose weight after the surgery..................

You are doing fine 2lbs in five days is ok because it takes your body about 2 weeks to sike itself out that you are not giving it carbs anymore before it start going after the fat on your body.  you will be ok you and I are going through the same thing my surgery is on the 18th

That is good, your body has to adjust.

Wow. I have been on for almost 2 wks and I lost 13 so far.. I do the protein shakes and eat 4 oz of lean meat and 2 veggies...

I gained 2 pounds my first 3 days on my liquid diet.  No cheating and thought I'd die.  I had been on Atkins prior trying to get weight off pre-op.  I was loosing 1/2 to 1 pounds a day.  I had been doing great before the darn liquid diet.  I'm bloated like crazy too.

The liquid diet is waaaaay high in carbs.
