I've only lost 6lbs on pre-op diet!
I've been on the pre-op diet since last Friday, September 26th and I've only lost 6lbs, which was in the first 3 days. I have lost nothing for 3 days straight and I am starting to get concerned. Will they still do the surgery if my liver hasn't shrunk enough? I have been absolutely STARVING during the day and probably eating too much for dinner, but I can't help it. Although what I am eating for dinner is healthy and lots of protein. Did anyone else have this issue? Surgery is Monday and I am SO WORRIED--PLEASE HELP!
If you are staying low carb/low sugar, I am sure your liver will be fine and shrink like it should. Don't worry about how much weight you lose -- the diet isn't about weight loss, it's about going low carb and low sugar to shrink your liver. IMO - stay off the scale and focus on following the plan to the best of your ability.
