How Much Did You Lose?



Recommended Posts

Im curious to know how much weight you lost on your pre-op diet? My doctor has me on a two week but I was thinking about maximizing it with a three or four week. I dont have to lose a percentage or a set amount of pounds I was told it was just to shrink my liver.

I lost almost 40 on my own pre-op diet from April 5 to surgery day, July 17. About 10 of that was on the required 3-day pre-op diet.

I was on a pre-op diet for one month - Optifast for dinner and low-carb/high-protein for Breakfast and lunch. Lost 11 pounds.

Base on my experience. I am only Day 3 on my liquid diet ( clear liquid) so I am looking 1-2 lb per day. but I was able to loose 10lb just eating moderate for 1 months.

the total you can see in the ticker.

I lost 30 pounds in 4 months of pre-op. About 10 of those were in my pre-op liquids right before surgery. My surgeon requires 7 days of pre-op liquids.

I was sleeved on 8/21 and haven't lost any weight yet. I think my body has gone into shock and needs time to adjust to the 30 pound weight loss AND the surgery. I had one early morning panic but this great group of people talked me off the ledge. Nobody has NOT lost weight when they follow the program, which I do, so I know that I'll start losing when my body is ready.

Good luck!

I was on a 7 day required full liquid pre op diet to shrink the liver before surgery. I lost 8lbs in that week prior to surgery.

      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.
