I've lost 6 so far and I'm not sure as to how much I should lose my doc never told me. I'm guessing it all depends on the doc. I didnt have to start my liquids until tomorrow but started it today!! I'm kinda freaking out about my liver not being small enough!! Anyways good luck on Friday and keep me posted on how you do and are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allison0927 329 Posted May 8, 2012 congrats on friday surgeries - pre-op weight loss varies and each pre op diet seems to be different. I lost about 11 pounds on 2 weeks of 3 shakes per day and one "lien cuisine" or equivalent meal - i never cheated once even with the fourth of july weekend in there - ha! BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babydumplin1968 13 Posted May 9, 2012 So not looking forward to starting this liquid only diet. I was advised to drink one Protein Shake and three slim fast shakes for the first three days. After three days, I can trade one of the shakes for a small garden salad...... no small meals at all.....Surgery is set for the 25th.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
