Pre-Op Diet questions

[O2BSkinny 247]

I will have my sleeve surgery on Monday. I have been on the pre-op diet since May 27th. I have now lost a total of 11 lbs in these 11 days. Is this a normal lost? How much did you guys lose?

That's great! I lost about 20 pounds over a month. I started my pre-op three weeks early and had a few bad days in there, but I am so happy I did it. Believe me, post op, you will marvel at how much of a struggle pre-op was when you can't get hardly anything in post op.

I'm on day 6 and haven't weighed myself but can tell I've lost weight (wrist watch is looser etc.). The dietician told us at pre-op class that most people can expect to lose anywhere from 5 - 15 lbs per week on the preop diet. We do about 800-900 calories per day, high Protein and low (ish) carb.

Everybody is different in their journey. Some lose more / some lose less just like on any diet. Pre-op was difficult for me--3 shakes a day & 1 high Protein / low carb meal. After 2 weeks I felt like I couldn't look at another shake without having some nausea.

I was sleeved June 3 and I'm feeling much better today! But I'm also back to drinking the shakes again for Protein post-op. 19 lbs down since May 20th

I had a seven day liquid diet before surgery. I lost about ten pounds on it.

11 lbs is great! Some people only lose around 3 others lose around 20. So I would say if you are around those numbers you are doing great! There are other factors to keep in mind, such as exercise, and the amount of weight you need to lose too.

A pound a day is about right..
