Good morning. I’m currently on my 9th day of my pre-surgical diet and have not lost any weight. Im following the recommended diet exactly. Ive called the office twice and they told me not to worry about it, that some don’t lose. If I’m not losing now how will it be different after surgery? Has anyone else had this issue or question?

Hi. Like the staff at the office said, I also wouldn’t worry about it, but I can definitely understand your worry! I lost just a couple of pounds, wasn’t happy, and was told the same.

Thank you for the response. My ending total was 6 pounds.

It will get better. . . I started my pre-op diet 11 days ago. Unlike you, I can only have full liquids for three weeks. Sigh. . .

You will especially feel better when you see the pounds slipping away. Today is Day 11 for me on this diet and the brain has finally realized that I am not starving to death and that I can do this  https://whatroseknows.com/metabolic-flora-review/. I have not cheated once since starting it and as of this a.m. have lost 18.8 pounds.

I am scheduled for surgery on the 14th. . . gastric sleeve. . . and I go home on the 21st (my choice). So, maybe we will get a chance to meet. . . Hope so!

Don’t get me wrong. . . I am looking forward to the day I get to eat something that can’t be sucked up through a straw, but today was the first day that it wasn’t the FIRST thing on my mind. . .LOL
