pre-op fast

I am one week into my two week liquid pre-op fast. How much weight should I expect to lose on this thing? This is tougher than I thought it would be. I am running to the bathroom alot. Is this normal?

running to the bathroom yep!!! As far as how much you might lose depends on your body. I lost 5 lbs. but we all lose different!

My surgery is tomorrow and I started my liquid diet/fasting on Saturday. So far I am down 8 pounds since Thursday. I am glad it's only 3 days for my liquid diet. I don't see the reasoning for two weeks but some surgeons do that. As for the bathroom, yes that is normal. I had diarrhea and soft stools yesterday but nothing today except lots of peeing. I think once the intestines and bowl clear out then it is probably just pee from there. Good luck with you liquid diet! It is tough but hang in there! Sherry

Today is your day..my prayers are with you...good luck to you....keep us posted.
