2nd week of preop diet....

[ShrinkyDink]

Today begins the second week of preop full liquids for me. The first 4-5 days of this diet, I lost 17lbs. Then I stalled, but held steady. Last night I was so hungry!!!!!! I almost caved and made scrambled eggs and toast, but I didn’t! I weighed this morning and I am now down 22lbs!!! I’m in shock. 22lbs in a week. WTH? Full liquids, 1000 calories, 60g of protein, and keeping my carbs under 60 - this is what I’ve been doing. I know “it’s water weight”, but dang I was holding a LOT of water!

Congrats! I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet and have lost 10, 22 is great! I am also hungry and tempted to eat, particularly at night, during work it is better because i am busy. We just have to keep focused on the goal and how much safer surgery will be with smaller livers and a little weight loss before something so major. You can do it!
