Liquid diet! How much weight to loose??

[Tori1983 0]

I am going into day 5 of my liquid diet. I have lost 5.8lbs. I dont think I am loosing enough. I have read on here and watched Youtube and people are looseing like 11-14 a week!

My doc didnt give me a certain number of Lb's to loose he just put my on the three week liquid diet.

So, I guess my question is How much weight did you loose on your liquid diet? What was your surgery day out come? Did you get banded or liver was too big and couldnt get banded? Thanks everyone

I think a pound a day is about right, that is what I have been doing...I am on day 5 and have lost 5 so you are right on track:thumbup:

I think I lost 10 pounds during my 22 day pre-op liquid diet.< /p>

I must have really missed the boat on the 14 pounds a week think.

I am getting banded the 25th. This is the 5th day day of my pre-op diet and I have lost 7lbs. I hope to lose another 5lbs. my Friday. I didn't have to lose a certain amount. I am afraid of having a fatty liver after some of the post I have read on here.

Hi

I am not on the liquid diet, but I can say something that may help. The best advice my doctor gave me when I thought I wasnt losing enough on his prescribed 1200 a day diet, was "Eat the 1200 calories a day and dont worry about it". My weight had been stalled for 3 weeks at that time (with strict adherence to the diet!) and the very next day I saw a 4 pound loss. Since then I have just stuck to what my doctor said to do and I havent worried about it. (that's his job for now). Hope this helps. Sounds to me like you're doing great!
