Monet08 63 Posted August 22, 2016 I'm really really really nervous! I'm also trying to lose 4 pound in 2 weeks before I meet for my pre op and start my liquid diet. Any help please. Or advice that I need. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted August 22, 2016 the only advice I have is to just focus on following whatever healthy "diet" you are on as you follow through the pre-op and post op stages - and let the scale take care of it's self. Unless the doctor says you have to loose x amount by this time, you are setting yourself up for frustrations if you try to impose timelines like that. and chin up! for the most part just about everyone is nervous.

Hiraeth 515 Posted August 22, 2016 Feeling nervous is normal! I did not feel nervous, but I think that makes me NOT normal, lol! I jumped right in with so much excitement. I'm just normally a very brave person. It's my personality. Most people feel very nervous. But I'd be lying if I said you don't need this, because you do. Yo-yo diets fail most of the time. They even make you gain more weight back. So you do this, and you make it yours!As for losing 4 pounds in 2 weeks... That is very easy to achieve. I lost 9 pounds in 1 week on the liquid diet. Just stay hydrated, drink just liquid (protein shakes and yogurt are life savers). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tssmith8589 2 Posted August 22, 2016 Good luck!!!!! I've heard through our support group mist ppl tend to loose around 10lbs on the liver shrinking diet. My date is Sept 21st and I'm excited Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hiraeth 515 Posted August 22, 2016 If you have to lose 4 pounds before the diet, that is still VERY easy to do. Just track your calories. Maybe try to eat no more than 1400 calories. Try to walk about half a mile a day if you can, and yes, walking around the house counts. You CAN do this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALittleMe0914 69 Posted August 23, 2016 @Monet08 I am going September 14th as well! I have been following low carb for the past 3 weeks, and have lost 11 lbs thus far. I start my pre op diet next Monday, but it's similar to low carb with 1 Meal Replacement shake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
