Have anyone just could not loose weight on the pre op liquid diet? If so, why?

[PRINCESS2218 56]

For some odd reason I just cannot loose weight on this pre op liquid diet. If I do not loose the weight they are going to reschedule my surgery or possibly cancel it. I take antidepressants. I have no idea if that could be the problem. Can someone help?

What is your diet protocol like? Have you reached out to the nutritionist? Hang in there.

My pre op liquid diet consist of: crystal light, Water, sugar free Jello and opti fast shakes. I have plans on reaching out to my bariatric team on Monday. I also plan to continue on the pre op, I wish they could just ignore the weight problem and continue with the surgery.

Well it sounds like your liquid diet is pretty standard with other liquid diet protocols. It is good that you will be talking to your nutritionist and maybe they will have further insight for you. I do not have real advice or experience to pull from to give you but I can offer support and best wishes to you on your journey.

How much fluids are you getting? How long are you on it and when did you start? How much do you have to lose. Whatever you do - don't come off meds - it's important to stay on them.

@@PRINCESS2218 You're not alone. Although my pre-op diet allows for 3 shakes, 1 cup veggies and a Lean Cuisine type meal, I have not dropped more than a couple of pounds. I called my bariatric center and spoke with a dietitian and she encouraged me to use a laxative (which that is definitely an issue on this diet) but insisted that I not reduce my intake. Aside from the things mentioned above, I am drinking Vitamin Water Zero, Propel, Herbal Caffeine Free tea, and regular Water. scale hates me.
