Did You Lose / Are You Losing Weight on Liquid Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

I've been reading a lot about how much the pre-op liquid diet sucks, and I'm not much looking forward to it.

Trying to see a bright side, are you at least losing? I haven't really had any success losing before surgery so far. I'm hoping the liquid diet will take a few pounds off, pre op.

If you lost / are losing, how much?

I just did the preop diet for about 12 Days and only lost about 6 lbs, which was disappointing, considering I was starving during that phase. I was sleeved on Friday and even gained 1 lb while in the hospital, probably because of the liquids that are pumped into you. In the hospital, I only had one dish of Jello and a cup of chicken broth and ice chips. I know it will come off now that I am at home and recovering. My metabolism was pretty screwed up so I hope the surgery "resets" it, as the surgeon says. Good luck to you

Yes, the preop diet is difficult! I though I was going to lose my mind but after losing 10 pounds, and having my surgery go very smoothly, it was worth it. Hang in there, you will be fine. One of the things that kept me going during pre op phase was I didn't want the surgeon to open me up and find something wrong as a result of my not being compliant with the pre op diet and not perform the sleeve.

My surgery was July 2 and I am down 40 pounds which includes the 10 pound preop. Never since I've been struggling with my weight have I been able to shed that kind of weight! Good luck to you!

My pre-op diet wasn't liquid and I still lost 18 lbs on it. It was essentially phase one Atkins.< /p>

I'm on day 11 of my 14 day pre-op diet and so far I've lost 7 lbs which is less than I thought I wasn't going to but still worth it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
