Anyone losing weight on the liquid diet ??

I started my pre-op diet on Friday the 3rd and lost 9lbs so far (which would have been awesome if I hadn't gained 5lbs the week before during my "food funeral" lol). Still, 9lbs is 9lbs and I still have a little over a week to go. :)

I had a week where I had 5 days of regular food (but I was doing low calorie, high Protein, low carbs) and 2 days of liquids and I lost 6 pounds. Then I lost another 3 pounds in 2 days doing liquids. So it seems to be working pretty well.

If my hunk of junk scale I have at home is correct I have lost 13 to 15 pounds. Stepped on it 3 times got 3 different numbers. Which would make me down a total of 30 pounds before surgery with 5 day to go.
I get to eat green veggies though, so it’s not all liquid. Haven’t had more then 300 calories all week. Protein Shakes aren’t really shakes I mix isolate whey Protein with Water only. If I could get to 40pounds down before surgery I swear I will do a somersault. Haha 😆 not really.

Anyone know of A good brand for a scale? It would be nice to have an accurate one during this process. Though I don’t really weigh myself.

I have two hippih and healthometer they are close enough when I weigh in but my favorite was weight watchers that scale was right on.

@KRush88 weight watchers is the one I have. 😆 It’s 3 years old it’s been sitting in my closet for a long time. Maybe it’s broken. Gives me a different number every time.

Aww man! I think all my scales are off and they are never the same as the doctors scales. I just weigh in every Monday. If it say the same the times then that’s what I take. I weigh on two scales to see the difference.

I had mine August 2 and was discharged August 5. A week post op certainly feels better than my first day off the pain pump (2nd post op day), but I am resting much better at home, tired of all of the sweetness of Protein Shakes, as I am not a sweet eater anyway, and SO looking forward to that first soft scrambled egg! I started with being up a few hours tiring me out to being up most of today folding laundry, doing dishes, cooking a meal for my daughter, and some general organization. Also, for a flavor oriented, savory eater, it is AMAZING what a couple tiny tastes of mustard on my tongue did for my attitude!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
