My surgeon told me that doing a two week liquid diet preop will result in shrinkage of your liver and rapid weight loss and boy was she right! I had no idea how rapid! I woke up this morning on the BEGINNING of day 4 and I have lost 9.2 pounds in three days! HOLY COW! It is definitely a motivator!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Ive been wondering, since we are pretty close in timelines. I've lost 6 so far! I try not to weigh everyday but its HARD not to lol!  Seeing the scale move sure makes it easier to avoid solids huh?

Nope...Its complete liquid 24/7 for 14 days! No solids whatsoever. And not just any liquids. Low sodium chicken or beef broth, healthy request tomato soup with skim milk, protein shakes, skim milk, sugar free popsicles, crystal light, decaf tea and that is it!

I was also on a liquid diet for 2 weeks & lost 20 pounds.
Feels good doesn't it?
It gave me hope for the future.
