weight loss pre-op?

[mamato3 1]

So, I have not officially started my pre-op diet yet. That will start on Dec. 28 with surgery on Jan 7th. But here is my question... I have been trying REALLY hard to lose some weight prior to surgery with no success. I have been doing basically the slim fast plan... a shake for Breakfast, another for lunch and sensible dinner plus 2 Snacks (I usually do a yogurt or a piece of fruit) Is Slim Fast too high in sugar or something? I am not losing anything! Now I'm starting to get nervous! What if I go through with this whole surgery for no reason? It seems like I should be loosing some weight doing this. It has been 2 weeks! What do you all think? Maybe I should just follow the pre-op liver shrinking diet starting now, or would 3 weeks be too much?

Which Slim-Fast are you using? Slim-Fast Optima...yes, too many carbs. The Low-Carb Slim-Fast, however, only has 2 "net" carbs meaning only 2 carbs that actually have an effect on your blood sugar. 5 carbs total. Good luck with your pre-op diet.
