How much Pre Op Diet weight loss?

[MrsPositive 5]

Day 3 of my pre-op diet...yes, I am starting it 8 days earlier than I have to...can you tell I am ready?

I have lost 8 pounds in 2 days...which I know from previous billions of diets that is all Water weight. Just curious though...about how much is a normal weight loss pre-op?

10 percent of body weight? More? Anyone know?

I am trying to be good at being happy with what happens each moment, but I also do not want to be disappointed...so I want my expectations to be rational.

Any help here for how much I should expect would be great. Thanks!

How long will you be doing it total? I know that in previous 2 week liquid diets that I've done, I've lost anywhere from 5-10%, closer to 5 on average though.

How tall are you? With your weight being similar to mine, you might have a new stalker.

Got my answer, dang you're tall. LOL. I bet you get that a lot.. I am 5' 7" and three quarters. I round down though. I think as I lose weight I'll stand taller. Or so I hope.

Okay...that was funny!! I am 5' 11'' and I have always joked that I wish I was taller...cuz I'd be thinner...more stretched out, you know? lol

I will tend to drop super fast but I also used to gain it back too. Lost a TON of weight a TON of times like everyone else... I do stick to the plan once decided upon. I am planning on doing it until May 24th so a little over 3 weeks. Hoping to lose 30 lbs. Just making sure I wasn't going to be disappointed. Thanks for your reply!

I have been dieting since April 15 and I've only lost 5 lbs. I gained back 2 apparently! This sux!

Puppylovemommy...you probably are not doing the diet I am for pre-op. It is basically up to 5 slimfast drinks a day plus one meal of 5oz lean meat, 3 cups non starch veggies and a tbsp of fat. 1000 calories or so. I can only manage to get down 2 or 3 of the drinks...so I'm hitting about 700 calories. Anyone would drop fast on that I bet!!
