That sounds like the old Slim Fast Diet. They put me on a 14 day all liquid Protein shake diet. I'm on day 11 of 14 and have lost 14 pounds. The weight loss will come.

I'm on that exact same pre-op diet. I've lost 5 pounds but every time I've ever dieted I lose steadily at first and then hit a stall so I fully expect to stop losing here pretty quickly and then pick back up in the last few days. You probably just lose differently and will see a big drop all at once. Don't worry, it will happen. You can't cut calories like that and not lose weight.

Kellyann, stay off the scales. Do you feel like you have lost anything? When you go back to the doctor, they will weigh you and that will be your official weight loss. Just follow the plan and don't stress about the numbers.

I was on a 10 day diet. Clear Liquids, although I could have milk with my Protein Shakes, broth, SF Popsicles and SF Jello. I had to have 4 shakes a day. I was also allowed 1/2 cup of non starchy veggies per day. Today is my last day-yay!! I am 10 lbs down. Good luck!

kellyann, it's important to remember that although you will almost certainly lose weight on this diet, that's not really its purpose. The pre-op low-carb diet is meant to make surgery safer & easier by shrinking your liver.
