That seems like a little much. Am I starving myself  losing so fast? I actually have started to feel pretty good w/in the last few hours.
I checked my urine and have a small amount of ketones.

I guess it's all water..
I probably shouldn't have posted this thread...

it's very normal.  Per day, I was doing 4 bottles plain water, 1 bottle of water with crystal light packet, 1 can of Campbell's 98% fat free Cream of Chicken, 1 SF jello, 2 Bariatric Advantage Protein Meal Replacements, and 2 Bariatric Advantage Protein Bars, and LOTS of sf popsicles (4-6) all OK'd by my doc.  i was told just to stay within 1000 cals while on my 21-day liquid diet and I lost 20 lbs in 21 days.

OMG That's awesome! I'm supposed to be on clear liquids and protein drinks, but I've been having broth and a piece of tilapia at night because I'm just too hungry.

Did your doctor give you carb count to stay at?

Hey, thank you for responding

I am on full liquids now, I am 10 days out. I have now lost 11 lbs. I wasn't given a calorie count but, I need 60 grams of protein and 60 oz of water. I am meeting that everyday and still losing pretty quickly. I am going to enjoy it while it lasts!

Can you tell me how you get all your protein in? I'm worried because the bullets only give 40 grams. Are you supposed to drink 2 of those?

ITA with your siggy note! Everyone eating around you and you KNOW you can eat that, too...

It's slight torture but it feels really good that I can resist.
