Amount of weight lost on the pre-op liquid diet?

[brat7169 0]

I am doing a two week liquid diet pre-op adnd have just finished my first week. I have no real weight loss to show for it.

I have been drinking four shakes a day and eating carrots the rest of the time.

How much weight did you lose during your pre-op diet? And is it ok not lose anything during the pre-op diet?

I dropped 26 pounds on mine and most of that was in the first week.

My surgion never told me of a specific weight to lose. It is mainly about shrinking your fatty liver.

Good luck.

I lost about 12 lbs... I was drinking 4 slim fast shakes a day and one meal a day of 5oz of lean Protein and 1 cup of salad w/low fat/fat free dressing.. this is what I was instructed to do by my surgeon.... the only issue w/you not losing might be if you are eating too many carrots... Carrots are VERY high in sugar... I LOVE carrots.. but they are very high in sugar... something to think about...

Maybe the carrots are too much. I was told I could have an unlimited amount of raw veggies. So I picked carrots because they are the easy to take to work.

Guess I will up the cardio this week and see if that makes a difference.

I totally get the easy to take to work.. but the sugar... that can be a killer.. if you like broccoli, see if you can get the pre-cut packages of raw broccoli, etc.. you can also get pre-cut celery too... cauliflower pre-cut... if you can find that.. try going that route because there is no sugar in those... hope this helps and good luck!!
