LD- I've only lost 3 lbs. in 4 full days!

Your doing great! Dito to what everyone else said. It will come off.......If your like me though I'm impatient with the scale. Kelly

I only lost 8 pounds with my liquid idet. i was not too concerned about it. I hadn't heard that it was normal to lose 20.

LJ I only lost 9 lbs on my LD and I followed it religiously. I think 20 lbs is the exception not always the rule hon.

I thought with PNC you were supposed to have 3-5 Boost/Ensure/Slim Fast/CIB a day? Anyways, 20 pound is NOT the norm. Most of the people I know lost maybe 10 pounds in the 10 day LD.  On another topic, I think the word "ONLY" should be BANNED from this website. There's no such this as ONLY losing such and such a weight. Be proud that you've actually LOST the weight! In the past, we've barely managed to do that. Take a deep breath and stay off the scale or you'll go bonkers. You're doing fabulous! Congrats to you!!!

Nope...the book says 5 to 6  now...maybe they changed it? 
I agree..NO more ONLY!!!!!  Good Point!

(((hugs Lisa))) Think of it this way.  In the days/weeks/months prior to your LD, how much did you eat?      ..... Now you're on a liquid diet.  Your body is saying "DAYUM!  I better hang on to what I've got, 'cuz THIS nut case is starving me!!!"   You just keep following that LD, your body will figure out that you AREN'T starving it, and the pounds will start to fall off.  Just allow your system time to adjust, k?  And I SO expect an update on LD loss as soon as you have your surgery!!!

 

Darla, Do you have a book sitting next t your computer of fun ways to say things?  I just get the biggest chuckle and feel so light hearted after reading your posts!  Thanks for that!

ONLY?????   You ONLY lost 3#s?? My advice is STAY OFF THE SCALE!!!  LisaJoy--you're doing a great job!  Just pay no heed to the dang scale! The LD is for shrinking your innards so that the surgeon can maneuver around easier. (((HUG))) **SUE**

Hang in there. Everyone loses differently. You are doing just fine.

Dear Heavens girl - GET OFF THE SCALE!!!   Everyone is different and will lose differently - if you start freaking out about weight loss on your LD - you're going to have one heck of a time after surgery.  Besides - IT'S ONLY BEEN 3 DAYS!  Your body is freaking out that you're starving it and it's trying to hold on to everything it has because it doesn't know when it's going to get it's next meal and if that's going to give it enough nutrition to continue to fuel you. Patience my dear LisaJoy, patience.  It will all come in due time!  For now, please do yourself a favor and give your scale away - it will end up being an enemy of yours if you don't. Love ya girl - hang in there!
