After 10 days on my pre-op diet (thankfully not entirely liquids), I have lost 13.6 lbs. My surgery is on 4/5

My liquid diet is or 7 days, I am on day three and dont know what I weight because I refuse to put a scale in my house. I know if I do, I will get obsessed. My doctor wants liquids, but said if I have to eat something, make sure its something Protein. I have been trying hard to stick to all liquids, yogurt, cream of wheat, Water, unsweetened diet ice tea, etc but the headaches and shaking is too much. So day 1 I ate 2 hard boiled eggs in addition to all the liquid, day 2, I ate chicken, less than 3 ounces, today....still liquids so far, but know I will eat something at dinner.< /p>

Surgery day is tomorrow morning 4/5 for me. After weighing myself this morning, I'm down just over 18 pounds since I started my 2-wk pre-op diet on 3/22.

I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I can say it gets better everyday. The Protein shakes(Im using EAS soy protein) can be alittle hard to get down at times. I have lost almost 10 pds. My surgery is set for April 1st in Dallas/Richardson Texas. I cant wait. I know this diet can be hard but it only helps b/c after you have your new pouch you will not be able to eat like you did before anyways!! Good luck!

my doctor made me do a 3 week liquid diet, i did add Soup to the mix because i don't like the way the broth tastes but i have lost 27 lbs so far ..that is one hard diet to stick to !

I lost 15 lbs during my preop diet (cheated a couple of times) and then 7 more since my surgery (post op 1 week) for a total of 22 lbs in 3 weeks. Just starting my journey, good luck with yours!

I am scheduled for my surgery on April 22, I am supposed to start my liquid diet in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me how much weight did you lose when you finished your liquid diet? Thanks!!!!!!

I am on day 4 of my liquid diet and have lost 10 pounds so far.

See, I don't have a pre-liquid diet, I have a no carb, meat, egg, and cheese diet. My liquid diet starts after surgery...but good luck, all of you!

2wk low carb high Protein diet consisting of 2 Protein Shakes & one small meal (protein plus veggie & fruit) and I lost 9lbs. I did not gain any of that back. My surgery was 3/4/11 and I am down 26lbs. Good luck!

Hello everyone,

My surgery is Wednesday, April 13th. I went for my pre-admission testing last week and according to their scale I only lost 5lbs. Earlier that morning my scale said 9lbs. I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 14lbs but the hospital scale always read something different. I feel like I lost 14lbs because I'm fitting in clothes I previously couldn't fit.

Did anyone else experience this? Your scale different from the doctors scale? LOL!
