Frustrated

I will be sleeved on Oct 31.  Been on the liquid diet a week and have lost only two lbs.  I have not cheated a bit!  Before this I was on a low calorie doet with the surgeon only eating 1000 calories a day and lost nearly 30 lbs. So I wonder if my body is just not going to loose fast with the liquid.  I have heard of other loosing 10 or more lbs on the liquid diet and my scale is not moving! 

For me it was all water weight and a stall then one day it was all gone and was down like 10 pounds

I get my sleeve on Monday and have been on pre-op for the past two weeks....pretty much same thing!  I have read about all these great weight losses pre-op, but I'm only down 2.2 from start to pre-assessment Wednesday. Looking forward to great things after!!  Hang in there....you're almost to the start of a new life!  Will be praying for you.

I know all my life I have been doing this, eating nothing and never losing. That's why I wanted this surgery so badly, just hang in there and see what this surgery is going to do for you!  I am going to check on you and your progress which I have no doubt will be great!

when your calories are severely cut, your body tends to hold onto all it can before letting go... lower calories is not always the answer to losing weight. Give your body time to adjust.

When I was banded I went from an Atkins diet and than went on liquid diet and gained 14 pounds in 14 days.  The liquid protein shakes where way higher in carbs than I was used to.  The made me stay on the liquid any way.  When sleeved I used The Syntrax Nectar instead of what the program made me buy and I did lose some weight pre-op

Best thing you can do is to not compare yourself to others, even on this site.  We are all different.  I'd venture the guess that you have just proved that you cannot lose weight without surgical intervention - exactly why you signed up for this surgery, right?

You'll do fine!

I did liquid for two weeks before surgery and after 5 days I had only lost 4lbs. I didn't weigh myself again until I had surgery this past Friday and I had lost 13. I bet more weight will come off of you before Friday! Good luck to you

Thank you all so very much! 5 days to go  xoxo
