So Frustrated With This Stupid Liquid Diet!!

[puppyphat 397]

5lb in 6 days? Wow!! I'm looking forward to losing a lb a week, actually, I lie, I'd just be happy to not be gaining any more weight and see the scales moving in the general direction of down. Maybe I need bigger goals? Start my pre-op diet in a couple of weeks, I'm only allowed Optifast and Water. Luckily they make Soups and bars for the pre-op, but I know I'll be living off the shakes post-op. I'm excited at the moment at just making my liver happier, and also a little terrified that if I cheat the dr will not be able to move it around and just close me up.

Good luck for next week and beyond, just keep reminding yourself that so long as the scales are moving in the right direction, you're winning.

please note that the pre liquid diet (is not about losing weight).

it is getting your body/liver ready for surgery. its only Water weight.

but it is a loss.

please think healthy and do not even worry about losing weight until your surgery is over and you are healed. you can do this. its for your own well being.

my dr if the liver is too large, they wont operate. so i did not cheat. for that reason alone.

I was also on a liquid diet. Fourteen days, and full liquids. It's a big mental process. Best of luck!
