Pre op diet

[trsnodgrass 5]

Surgery is 3/5/18. I’m following the 2 week pre op Protein diet to the letter. Instead of losing weight I’m gaining. Feeling discouraged that I will not lose the weight I should. Hopefully someone else has had this issue and can offer some encouragement.

Are you tracking? How and when are you weighing yourself? Some scales just aren't accurate I find.
Also it could just be all the liquids going in. They can make you heavier when you weigh yourself.

I weigh at work using the same scale every time. First thing in the morning. Im tracking on Baritastic. I would have had only 1 Protein Shake by the time I weigh myself.

What are you eating, what type of Protein Shakes?

How much sodium are you getting? Could just be Water retention?

I suspect Water retention, too. I remember gaining 13 lbs of excess water in the past... was all the sodium from Lean Cuisine Meals. Hang in there, don’t get discouraged!
