LIQUID DIET DAY 5

TODAY IS DAY 5 OF MY LIQUID DIET AND I AM DOWN 6 POUNDS.  THIS LOSS HAS HELPED TO MOTIVATE ME THROUGH TO MY DATE OF THE 23RD!  CANT WAIT TO GET THIS PROCESS GOING!  ALL SMILES!

That is awesome!!! Keep it up!

This is essentially how the first 6-12 months feels. It's really hard, but when the scale just keeps dropping and dropping, the good habits you will build will be reinforced!! Use that time wisely!

You are on your way!

 Also knowing your surgery will be safer with your liver detoxed got me through it.  Didn't want to take the chance of needing open surgery instead of lap.

Are you on full liquids or clear liquids? I lost a pound a day on full liquids but when I went to clear liquids I only lost 3 lbs for that whole week. NUT said my body went into starvation mode and stopped burning the calories as much. I even gained 9 lbs in the 4 days I was in the hospital because of all the IV fluids and inactivity. But a week after surgery it was gone and doing much better now. You will do great - keep up the fantastic work - it's really really worth it!!

So what can we eat when we are on full liquid??
