Concerned about weight loss

[Beachbunny 5]

I am on my pre op diet, which consists of 2 shakes and a low or no carb meal at night. I thought i was doing great on weight loss (10 lbs) and now i weigh myself and im up 3 today

What the heck!!! I hope the band helps me more with keeping the weight off. Im following the instructions and have been to the gym 3 times this week allready. Any advice would help.

I'm on a similar pre-op diet (2 more days!!!). 3 Protein Shakes, high Protein low carb. I can hve a small piece of lean meat and a light salad for dinner and I haven't lost a single pound in over a week... actually this morning it was up 2. I haven't gone off plan once so I know it's not me. All I can think is I'm taking in 800 or less calories a day at the moment... may be too few for my body to lose on. OR, the chicken broth I've been enjoying as a fake meal has too much sodium and I'm retaining water! But I had read a lot of people not losing on their liquid pre-ops so I'm not freaking out yet!

The pre-op diet isn't so much about losing weight as it is shrinking the fat around your liver. Weight loss just happens to be a wonderful side effect of it for most people.

You're doing fine You'll get through this and get your band and be on your way!

Funny I wrote about this yesterday as well and wonder if the band will work but i gotta stay positive and stop second guessing...just because i havent seen lbs drop doesnt mean my clothes dont fit better. it's hard to stay positive i know but i gotta have faith if it has worked for thousands of people what makes it not work for me? only I can determaine if it will work and that is what it all comes down to.
