I'm on day 5 of the liquid diet. Every day is a struggle! I've lost about 12 lbs in these 5 days. Is that about average?

Nice going! Everyone is so different, but good for you! Postop liquid or preop? I lost 15 lbs on my preop liver shrinking diet.

I'm preop. 14 days total of all liquid.

My 14 days pre-op, it was a semi-liquid diet. 2 small meals per day, 1 snack, 2 shakes. Lots of water. That was challenging at first, but after awhile I just tried to make it fun. (((hugs)))

That is like 2.4 pounds a day...that's incredible! Great work!

I think that is a pretty normal weight loss. When your body is used to a higher amount of calories and you cut that way down by just drinking liquids your body almost goes into shock. I only did the pre-op liquid 9 days prior to surgery, I had to drink 4 of those nasty drinks a day and I got to have a 250 calorie lean cuisine at night and I lost 18 pounds in those 9 days. Good luck with your surgery!

I think that's above average! It should get easier now that you're on day 5. You are doing really great!

I lost 11# in 10 days. All liquid and I was compliant. So, you are doing well.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
