My highest weight was 250lbs I am 5'5" tall. I was 246lbs the day I started pre op. I had a 10 day liquid diet and lost 10 lbs.

I had a preop diet from the time I entered the program but did not have a liquid preop diet. I ate similar to how we have to eat post sleeve (Protein first, low carb, little to no white sugars/flour/starch). I ate 1,200-2,000 calories a day (average of 1,400). I started in October of 2013. I lost 28 pounds preop. I was sleeved last Thursday and I've lost 11.5 pounds first week post op for a total of 39.5. I'm so glad I got a head start. I also started a blood pressure med in November that has some diuretic in it which accounted for some of that (I have lymph edema in my legs).

HW: 325 (probably higher once upon a time) with BMI of 51/52.

Day of surgery: 297, BMI 48

1week post op: 285

Goal: 155-165

I did do a full liquid diet on the day before surgery - but just one day.

I had a 2 week pre-op diet of 3 Protein Shakes and a 250-350 calorie meal. I only lost less than 10 lbs but I had already dropped my carbs a calories for 2-1/2 months prior so my body wasn't shocked as much as if I hadn't. In those 2-1/2 months I lost 28 total.

      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.
