starfish n coffee 157 Posted January 27, 2014 So I was proactive in starting my liquid diet two days early, with today being day one. My Pre-op isn't until tomorrow (1/28/14)......It's not as bad as I thought. If anything I'm having trouble trying to consume the daily intake of the list provided to me by my nutritionist. Either that or I've completely wrapped my head around the whole idea of my lifestyle change. My new mantra is: Nothing tastes as good as I want to feel and look. Thanks for letting rant.

edwardhoss 8 Posted February 1, 2014 What kind of weight loss should I expect on the 2 week liquid pre-op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starfish n coffee 157 Posted February 1, 2014 What kind of weight loss should I expect on the 2 week liquid pre-op? It all depends. I haven't gotten on a scale yet and won't until the day before my surgery. However I have noticed a change in my face and that's my skinny jeans (yeah skinny jeans on a Thick Chick) are fitting a little looser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HealthyNewMe 1,935 Posted February 1, 2014 I'm participating in a long term study as part of my lap band surgery. The nurses told me that the average weight loss on the two week liquid phase was between 10 to 12 pounds. If the participants didn't loose a minimum of 8 pounds, their surgery was automatically postponed. We were given five Protein packets a day for fourteen days, totaling 800 calories a day. Other than Water, no other liquids (broth, juice, etc) were allowed. I did what I had to do bc I was getting a free surgery out of the study. I lost 17 pounds. Best of luck to you! NOTHING tastes as good as HEALTHY feels! 1 starfish n coffee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
