7 Pounds Lost In A Week With Liquid Pre Surgery Lap Band Diet

[jennilamb007 10]

I have been on the pre-surgery liquid diet (Optifast 800 and clear liquids) for a week now and have lost 7 pounds. I am happy with that and hope to lose another 7 in the second week leading up to surgery. That will be a nice start to this new life. I hope and pray that I am going to see great things happen with the lap band. I haven't cheated and don't plan to because the band is only as good as how I work it. Good luck to everyone having surgery soon (and Congrats to those who have had it).

Take care,

Jen

With that attitude I am sure you will do great! I am 5 days post op. I was only on pre op diet for 5 days (I was on a time crunch). I had surgery on Friday. Since starting the preop until now, I have lost 14 lbs.

how long before your surgery? I started my liquid diet 12/10 but my surgery is not until 01/05. I am okay now but I can not imagine doing this for two more weeks. Any suggestions?

That's excellent!! I started my pre-op Optifast 10 days ago and have lost 11lbs. My surgery is tomorrow and I'm suprisingly calm about it! Tomorrow might be another story tho

Good luck with you and everyone else that is starting this wonderful journey!!
