Pre Op Weightloss

[Stephanie McMillan 5]

Hi everyone! My surgery is tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited!! The only thing that is bothering me is my lack of weightloss pre op. I have been on a clear liquid only diet for the past 10 days with 5-6 servings of Liquid Protein per day and haven't lost any weight. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't help but feel like I failed already

Hi you you are never a failure unless you quit... and you haven't done that! I would just focus on today.... best wishes for your surgery... and recovery!

Keep your head up! The goal of the preop diet is not weightloss, it is shrinking your liver! You will do great tomorrow and then the pounds will start to drop! Good luck!

Each person is different..I lost 4 lbs but like the post above me states the purpose is to reduce the size of liver so it doesnt get nicked...You are gonna do great. I am 4 days post op and still uncofortable...wiht a couple of my incisions but we again we are all different.....Keep smiling and you will just fine.
