CrisG 70 Posted July 24, 2013 Are you drinking enough Water? Did they give you the 3 day liquid diet instructions? Maybe you can start early. I had to start mine early. My last appointment I gained. He told me to start right away. He normally requires a 14 day so I now have a 16 day. But I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I weighed myself today just to see. I am down 5.4 pounds since my visit with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clmomof2 16 Posted July 24, 2013 I am drinking about 120 oz of Water per day. 10 Cups of 12 oz each. I do have my clear liquid pre op instructions and decided to start today. Its just been caos around the home this past 3 days. To compensate the stress I was so stupid I ate a lrg pk of french fries on Monday followed by 2 baked chicken legs last night. If sister and husband continue with the drama, I will pack my bags and go to a hotel. They had never argued in 17 years and picked the wrong time to do so. I get stressed out and eat even more.
