Hi everyone, I'm new to this! My surgery is scheduled for 3/23. However, I'm on a two week pre-op diet consisting of: • Breakfast - Protein shake • snack- Protein Bar, Greek yogurt, 2 hard boiled eggs, 2-4 oz of turkey with 1 oz of cheese, 2-4 oz of tuna, or 4 oz of shrimp. Lunch- Protein Shake Snack- same as above Dinner- 6 oz of lean meat, 1/2 cup of starch, 1 cup of veggies I started the diet last Tuesday. Today marks the first week done. I've work out four times last week and twice so far this week. I'm suppose to lose 10-15 pounds on this diet and I haven't lost a single pound in the first week. I'm extremely nervous and worried why this isn't working for me when I'm trying so hard. Does anyone have any advice? It's greatly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm drinking about 70 oz of Water a day. And my Protein shake is made specifically for individuals having the surgery done- 25 g of protein, 5 g of Fiber, 9 g of carbs, 1 g of fat. In case it wasn't clear I can pick one item from that list for a snack each time. That's crazy how well you do during your 2 week preop. My surgeon isn't so strict with it being so many liquids. I'm just feeling extremely discouraged Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
