Losing fat or water?

[Miss Tickle]

We're all told that when we first go on a diet we lose water not fat. So when do we stop losing water and start shifting the actual blubber?

You also lose muscle,hence eat protien and exercise.After the initial water loss the fat starts shifting.I would say the preop diet would clear most excess water.

I agree with Big and bouncy, I would say most of the water weight is gone if you stick to the pre-op diet, so any weight after that is going to be mostly fat with some muscle and water included.

A high protein, balanced diet is vital to ensure that the muscle wastage is not severe.
