I'm Stuck and frustrated

I had to be on a clear liquid diet for 10 days prior, but I actually was on it longer than that because my surgery date changed a couple times.  But I lost quite a bit doing it.  I had 3 protein shakes a day and then clear liquids, broth,  SF Jello and SF popsicles.  It was hard, but after about the 4th day it got easier.

Hiya! I know where you are coming from about being frustrated. I weighed 420 when I started my pre surgery liquid diet and the day of surgery I weighed 398 and I felt great on that day! I was told by my Doctors office to drink 3 slim fast optima's and 1 low carb slim fast a day for the first 3 days. For the forth day I was told that I could substitute 1 of the optima's for a small garden salad with a tablespoon of fat free dressing (for either lunch or dinner and I chose lunch) and still have the remaining low carb slim fast and the other 2 optimas. I drank 80 ounces of water a day and didn't eat anything 4 hours before I went to bed. I hope this helps you, it is tough but it can be done, I promise!

 A lot of people lose that kind of weight on a 2 week liquid diet you could try that. A lot of surgeons require it mine did. I t will shrink your liver and make surgery easier and safer.
