liver shrinking diet not working yet

well i am on day 5 and no weightloss on drinking protien drinks ,, ugh doc wants 10 lbs and i am down but the breckdown is intresting they said i gained 3 lbs of muscle mass loss 1 pound of fat and gained 2 lbs of water wondering will drinking more water make me gain or lose weight? .. any thoughts on that they told me to cut down on exercise and up the fiber .. i have 9 days to lose 9 lbs i can do it i know .. diabetic meds r killing my weight loss lisa

drinking more water will definitely help you lose the weight, especially if you are taking fiber. If you take fiber and don't flush w/ water, it could actually backfire and plug you up! graphic, I know, but that's the truth. my surgeon doesn't require a pre-op liquid diet, but i think i am going to have to self-impose one or i won't lose the weight. sorry the meds are working against you. i think that if you are making an honest effort, you are one step ahead of some of us (me, in particular), and can only do what you can do. the water will help though. I can't stand it myself, but the more, the better! good luck to you! Shana

i am drinking as i type lol maybe that is what i am doing wrong lol .. i hate water lol just hard on my tummy but i am drinking it ice cold the better lol thanks for advice lisa
