It varies person to person. Some people lose 10-15 and others don't seem to lose any.

I was scheduled to have lapband in Nov2011, so dr gave me shakes (protein to drink two weeks prior) well instead of lapband I ended up with gallbladder surgery and it was rescheduled until January 2012, during that time I kept drinking shakes and I lost 26 lbs before having lapband. I was only drinking one a day sometimes two.

I was on something similar to Adkins and didn't lose anything until I was banded.

I lost 19lbs & my husband lost 30 lbs. Each person is different & each preop diet is different.

Good luck!

I was on two shakes and one meal, plus all the veggies I wanted and Snacks of fruit for three weeks lost 16 lbs.

I'm sure everyone is different and everyone's preoperative diet is different too.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
