it depends on the size of the person also.

larger people can lose more. (remember its mostly water) but its a loss and it counts. dont get hooked up on a number. but so far you are doing great.

and in regards to cheating, its not okay. you only cheat yourself.

all the best on your upcoming surgery.

I lost 9 lbs, my surgeon told me the pre op diet was not about weight loss, but more about liver shrinkage, you should focus on that

Thank You everyone. Today I did pretty well with drinking lots of Water and lots of exercise. I actually felt so good. Felt like I had a ton of energy and pep in my step! LOL I am so happy I got my head back in the game. I lost it for a little bit. I can't believe I am actually getting weight loss surgery on Thursday! I can't wait to be thin and healthy again. Good luck to anyone getting their surgery soon!!

Trouble with Bowels? My problem was all that pooping I think because zll that protein! I didn't ever think a guy could have that much Poo!! I guess my ex wife was correct when she told me a was full of it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
