Liquid diet help ?

I started my two week liquid diet on the 27th and I've only lost 3 lbs is this normal ? I feel like I should have lost more .

#1 goal for preop is to shrink the liver! Your Dr needs to navigate inside you body, your diet is specific to shrink your organs AND get you emotionally prepared for postop.
The weight comes off, but for some people it was s slow and steady. Which can add a layer of difficulty in the beginning when anticipation is high. But those people who can persevere do much better as they follow the program much better.

People who lose it fast often think it's easy and begin to cheat quickly and often and fail at following the program because they lost 50 lbs super quick.

Follow the program and the weight will come off, our bodies are all different and respond differently. Be excited that you are on the path to the best you, and the healthiest you, physically, emotionally and mentally. Conquer the emotional and mental, then the physical follows.

You got this!

I haven't lost much either, and I'm on day 7. I lose two, gain one, bounce around. Maybe 3-4 pounds total? I've followed the program exactly, too. I'm hoping I lose a little faster after next week's surgery! Chin up. Some of us just take a little longer!

I have never tried a liquid diet before.
