Pre op weight loss

[Karen WS 78]

I am on day 10 of my pre op diet and have lost10 pounds but I am reading that many have lost 18 to 20 pounds on this I'm really sticking to the plan and I'm not sure why I'm not losing more weight has anybody else lost 10 pounds or less under 14 day pre-op

I lost 10 lbs over a 13 day long pre-op liquid diet! I did cheat some when I felt that I was going to starve to death, but overall, I was happy with 10 lbs! I think a lot of it has to do with your starting weight. I was 197 initially, so my doc told me to expect to lose about 10.

I only lost 2 pounds in my 1 week pre-op diet and I did not cheat. So I guess it is different for everybody. Sounds to me like your doing good.

Thank you for your posts. My surgery was moved up from the 11 to the 10th. I started back on all liquids today. Hopefully I will loose a few more pounds.

There are many variables that you have to remind yourself of. Everyone starts at different weights, some are on different diets, metabolisms are different and the list goes on. 10lbs is exceptional and your doc will be satisfied with that. I know it's hard, but don't get into the habit of comparing yourself to other's progress. It's not tangible so just focus on you and reward yourself for the loss you do accomplish

Accept who you are and what you lose. We are all different and comparison is self-defeating and futile!

everyone is different. It depends on your BMI on how much weight you will lose. I only lost 10 lbs on my pre op. Some lose 3 some lose 25

I know I've only lost 2 pounds on my 2 weeks preop diet and my surgery is in 2 days! These next 2 days are all liquids so hopefully I'll lose a couple more because of that! I'm hoping the preop diet worked to shrink my liver even though I didn't lose a lot of weight!
