Depends, really, on what the purpose of your pre-op diet was. My doctor doesn't care if I lose weight, he just wants my liver shrunken so that he can access my stomach. I was put on a strict low carb diet for 10 days (I'm finishing Day 5 now) because the liver processes it's own fat if it's deprived of carbohydrates...ta da, shrinkage! My doctor's quote was, "I don't care if you eat 10,000 calories a day, just stay under 50g carbs!" He did say I'd lose weight anyway, though, and I'm down 7 pounds in 5 days!

I'm on my medically supervised diet and it's 1200 calories a day. I follow it to the letter-no cheating. It's almost 10 weeks and I'm down 40 lbs. if I lose more than 12 more in the next two and a half weeks I may be denied for surgery because my bmi will be too low!

I had a 2-week pre-op liquid diet, and lost 25 lbs.

FYI - my final count was 10 pounds lost on my 10 day pre-op diet.

I'm on day 6 of my Pre-op diet. Down 12.4lbs. Very strict low carb/cal diet. Wasn't given a goal of carbs or cals, but following the roles of 2-3 shakes a day and only 1 meal (on a salad plate, no more than 4oz. meat and up to a cup of green veggies) has left me in the 600-800 calorie range and under 40 carbs. I've done well today, but think I overdid my activity level yesterday. Ugh major Migraine all day today! Can only take Tylenol too...

I have Migraines so I'm not sayin this is a cure, but make sure n drink plentttyyy Water since ur exercising n losn weight n hopefully headache will disappear. And if u were a caff drinker n have stopped, that too leads to headaches.
