Pre-Op Confusion

[Eclectick 129]

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a pre-op question, I have been on pre-op for 7 days now, sticking faithfully to the Protein Shakes, Water (almost) and my sugar free pudding/ popsicles and broth, I haven't lost not one pound.

I don't get it, when I ate what I wanted...I didn't gain (eventually it caught up "Obviously")..but I didn't lose either..so what gives here?

I'm Concerned....Surgery is Monday!

The pre-op plan is usually not to help you lose weight, it's to help shrink your liver. True, some people do lose weight on the pre-op plan, but others don't. As long as you are sticking to it, your liver will shrink and that will enhance your odds for a safe and swift surgery. So keep up the good work, and put the scale away if it is stressing you out. That's not what you are working towards right now -- keep on plan and you will do great in the way your surgeon needs you to!
