5th day on liquid diet.

Ok, I know I have a thread already about my liquid diet. But, I think that I have done really well, although, my weight seems to be leveling off, not as much is coming off, so far Ive lost 10 lbs in 5 days. I know I need to get out and exercise a lot more, I know that will help. I still have some cravings, but, things arent bothering me as bad anymore. But, 9 more days to go to surgery date. Am I doing anything wrong, here is what I do on a daily basis..

Morning, I drink EAS Myoplex 42grams of protein, then I have 2 bottles of water with special k protien powder, 5 grams each.

Lunch, I drink Atkins Advantage with 15 grams of protein.

When I go home, I eat a good bit of sugar free jello I think the 2nd day, I had 3 small bowls. I also drink a can of chicken broth for the salty taste.

For dinner, I have Slim Fast protein shake 15grams protein.
Im also drinking throughout the day.

Does this sound reasonable? I havent cheated, although I wanted to. But I want to. Anyway, I love to hear more responses to what Im doing.

It looks to me like you are doing fine. As you know our bodies don't lose weight in an even manner. One thought that occurs to me, though, is that if the chicken broth is really high in sodium, you could be retaining water from that.

Keep up the good work! To make a bad joke, this, too, shall pass.

Excellent! I ate the same thing, but I couldn't wait till the next phase - keep going when you get on the scale you will be so proud of yourself for staying with it!

the only thing I can see is that you may be drinking things with a lot of sugar substitute and/or sodium which on some people causes them to retain water. Funny enough, in order to get rid of retained water, you need to drink more water :o)
