PRE-OP DIET- Need some Help?!

Hey Guys!!!

i'm on my 2 week pre-op diet of 3 8oz protein shakes a day and 1 small meat/veggie meal.

I'm going into my 2nd week and i don't feel like i've lost anything...i'm following the directions and drinking about 10 gallons of water. I just don't know. I'm discouraged and scared that they won't operate if i don't lose enough weight in these 2 weeks.

Did anyone have any simular experiance or can you tell me what happened if you had to do a pre-op diet?

i'm thinking i might cut the meal out all together and just add a 4th shake.

AhHHHH! i'm so nervous [i have the 1 week freak out!]

HEY!!

My first surgery I had to do liquids too and even though you might not feel like your getting smaller most likely you have lost some weight. The diet is to shrink your liver so it's better for the surgeon to move around in there, I wouldnt worry too much. If your following the directions and doing what you should u will be fine. Best Wishes on the surgery!!!!

My surgeon told me that walking is one of the best ways to lose weight along with your diet...
I feel for ya! I'm not on a liquid diet, but I feel like i'm gaining instead of losing. My preop is on Thursday, I'm freaking out!!
Good luck to ya...
