Not losing weight during liquid diet

[sleevedley 3]

I started my liquid diet November 11th I weighed in November 18th and I lost 6 pounds but since then I haven't lost anymore weight the scale is still the same as it was 2 weeks ago. I'm kind of worried because I was expected to lose 25 pounds before my surgery date which is December 8th on this liquid diet really frustrated please help...... Is that normal

I lost 8lbs on my liquid diet. I was so weak and tired I could barely move. I think the pre-op liquid diets are pointless and waste but that is really another topic.

Everyone doesn't lose a ton on the pre-op diet and if they could't they couldn't need surgery.

Exactly!!! You're so right. My energy level has not been the same since I started this liquid diet I feel more miserable than anything I'm just afraid it may affect my surgery if I don't lose more weight on top of the way I've already lost during my supervisor dieting.

Pre op liquid diet is the shrink your liver. Having a high sugar, high carb diet can produce a fatty liver which makes it hard for the surgeon to work and puts you as increase risk. If the liver is too large than the surgeon may have to open you up fully or either deny you the surgery. So try not to cheat.
