How much did you lose on your 2 week preop diet?



Recommended Posts

I'm in my first day preop and I'm STARVING! I'm allowed 2 shakes and one 4 oz Protein and 1/2 cup green veggies. In between I can have 2 servings of each: broth, Jello & Popsicles (sugar free of coarse)

I lost 18 pounds during my pre-op diet. But they surgeon set a goal for me to get to, or he said he may not do the surgery. I was walking and walking and walking along with my liquid diet. I am have lost 20 pounds since my surgery 10 days ago and 38 all together, Seeing the scales today was very inspirational (first time I had been on the scale since being sleeved.)

I lost 16 in the first week. I'm in the middle of week 2 and haven't lost any. :\ very frustrating - especially since my liquid diet IS a liquid diet - no actual meals. I know what I lost the first week was mainly Water weight.

Due to a roller coaster ride with my insurance.. my 2 week liquid diet ended up being 10 days. My first week I lost 11 1/2 lbs & my 2nd week I only lost 3 1/2. I was on 3 shakes a day from New Direction (which we had to use & buy from the hospital). They were 200 calories each, included my Vitamins & I never felt hungry on them.

I just finished day 3 of my 14 day pre-op liquid diet. I have lost 7 pounds the first 3 days. I won't be able to get my Optifast until tomorrow. I've been drinking Boost Protien and Muscle Milk. The Optifast is so expensive, but that's what my surgeon requires. I will have a revision from band to sleeve on May 14, 2013.

      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.
