Help! Day 10 of pre-op diet and only 4 lbs. down!

I am on day 10 of my liquid only pre-op diet and have only lost 4 lbs! How is that possible?? I am so starving! I am drinking 5-6 protein shakes a day, and 1-2 other liquids (broth, sf pudding). Why haven't I lost more? My surgery is set for July 15th, so I'm on this until then. I am worried that the doc. will postpone the surgery since I haven't lost that much. What's going on? Any ideas or suggestions are for sure welcome

Doctor visit on Monday

Well I go in Monday for my doctor visit in which we will set up a surgery date. I am so excited. And nervous! I can't wait to start my new journey. I started this process in November and am very tired of waiting!!! The insurance was the problem, but I finally got my letter of pre-cert. YAY!!

Day 18 of pre-op liquid diet, one week til surgery, HELP

I still have only lost 4 lbs. on this pre-op diet. I do admit I have had a piece of hamburger patty several times. I go in to the doctor on Monday so he can tell me if my surgery will still be on the 15th, based on if my liver has shrunk? How is he really going to tell that? I am so worried that he will postpone the surgery and make me drink this crap for another whole week. I am so stressed. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks!

5 weeks Post-Op and feeling pretty good

I am five weeks Post-Op today. I had my first fill on Monday, 1 cc was added. I had been having quite a bit of pain around the port incision, but when I went in for my appt, the doc said I had a lot of fluid built up in my abdomen. He took off several big syringes full before he put in the fill. It felt better right away. Been doing good ever since. He said all that fluid was the reason. I am feeling a little restriction now. Not too much though. I go back on Monday for another check up, maybe another fill.
