How Weight Did Everyone Lose On Preop Diet

[canderson04 17]

I have lost eight pound so far and on day 4. The bariactric nurse said if I am losing 2 lbs a day, I am doing everything right. So does this mean my liver is shrinking too. Is there a set amount of weight anyone's dic wants them to lose?

hi cander, i lost 18 on my pre-op

dont focus on numbers, focus on shrinking your liver and getting your body ready for surgery.

best of luck to you also

Hi, I lost 14lbs and Dr. said I did good. Don't stress it and get plenty of fluids it helps you so you don't dehyrdrate and helps you lose too.

Good Luck!

Thanks ladies it just freaked me out. I thought she was letting me know it is a must to lose 2 lbs a day. I only lost one moe pound for today. So I was trying to work out and stuff to lose the other pound.

It is about sticking to it and shrinking the liver. Everyone is different. And not all preops are the same. I did an Atkins like preop the month prior and lost 20 pounds.

This time around I am on a self imposed preop and lost 5 last week and hope to lose 5 more this week. (only 2 weeks)

Sounds like you are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!!
