Weight lost during pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am just curious to hear what all of you lost only during the 2 week liquid diet phase. I know everyone has/had different direction up to the pre-op liquid diet (for example I have to log a journal for 3 months and lose 6 lbs before referral to my surgeon). I am curious how weight lose during that 2 week period varies. If you are comfortable putting you starting weight, height, and age too I would appreciate it! I am hoping to be sleeved in august. Thanks in advance. (Sorry if I am being nosy, I am excited and curious and interested all at once)

I'm 43 years young, 5'6", my starting weight was 315 and I weighed 298 on the date of my surgery. I had a 13 day pre-op diet that consisted of 2 high Protein shakes and a single meal with lean meat, non starchy veg, (low fat/no carbs). I could add an additional shake or a handful of nuts if needed for hunger. Then for the day before I was on Clear liquids and nothing after midnight.

Thank you everyone! I am so anxious to get this going. I've been researching the Protein Shake options.

So it sounds like even this can differ from Dr to Dr. Some have liquid diet 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 day? I wonder what I will have to do. I think I'm going to start some shakes here and there so it's not a culture shock. I've already been upping my Protein.

Good idea to try out the Protein drinks. Also upping your Protein now will help your hair later...

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
