You should be walking from the get-go. Walk some every day. Individuals normally don't loose a lot of weight the first week. When they are in the hospital for the operation, they fill you full of fluids, so when you come out you are heavier than when you went in. You first have to lose that weight.

Hi New. I've lost 15lbs since surgery a week ago. I am not doing anything other than walk as much as I can at home than drinking a total of 64-70 oz of liquids a day. Out of the liquid intake, 70 grms are Protein. I am blessed to be able to tolerated clear Water, Isopure and premiere protein. Sometimes chicken broth hits the spot. Good luck and don't rush it. Remember there will be stalls along the way but right now you have to give your body time to adjust.

I'm down 10 lbs almost 2 weeks, was probably about where you are at one week. Each body is different, I'm having trouble keeping up with walking right now due to heat. But at work I make sure I get up and do a few walks around the office. Hopefully the next few weeks I'll add some more mileage under my belt like the first few days.

In terms of exercise, I was told that for the first 6 weeks no heavy lifting 15lbs or higher, but I could do as much cardio as I wanted - walking, jogging, running - as long as it didn't cause pain.

Everyone is different! Lots of things in play. Did you do a pre op diet? If you lost weight pre op your first week post op won't be a high because you already lost the big Water weight drop people often lose the first week of any diet. I lost an amazing amount my first week (17lbs) but I didn't have a pre op diet, even so my doc said at my one week follow up not to trust that loss and not to stress if it went up. It didn't, but I hit the "three week stall" right after at two weeks while my body caught up.

It's a marathon, not a sprint!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
