Did anyone loose weight on their pre-op diet

I'm 2 days away from my surgery and I've lost 16 pounds on my 2 week liver shrinkage diet. The nurse did say I should lose 21 pounds so I'm not far off, hopefully I can lose it before the big day!

I think I would have lost more If I had used the weight watchers Soup, but I couldn't cope with no flavour so I made my own Soups.

Being on this diet has prepared me for the journey I am about to take cause I think It would have been a big shock to the system otherwise. Getting nervous now though????????

I was required to lose 5% which was 12 pounds. I lost 22 pounds instead. 16 days of 3 Protein shakes/day plus unlimited leafy green veggies. I lost more on my preop than I did the first 3 months postop!

I've lost 12lbs in the first 4 days of my liquid diet. It was enough to keep me going...

I'm 1 week in and I've lost 8lbs, I think it's actually a little more since it is my Tom.

I had to do a 2 week low carb diet and I was worried about losing to much as well so I asked my doctor. He said I already qualified so it didn't matter if I went below the BMI during the 2 week diet. That being said I lost 10 lbs and was at a 29 BMI the day I had my surgery. The 2 week low carb diet was really just to shrink the liver so it's easier to do the surgery.

I have been doing Protein liquid twice a day and a meal at night. I feel like I have lost but the scale isn't moving. Frustrating

I had a one week post op diet with 2 protien shakes a day plus 1 small meal. I lost 5.1 lbs.

I've lost about 15 since starting liquids. We'll see what I weigh in as on the day!

1 week of liquids only and I lost quite a bit. I think it was around 10 pounds in that one week. Doc was pleased!

Im in the early stages of this process attending the informational meeting on 5/28. My BMI is kind of on the lower side 36.9. with High Blood Pressure. Im already concerned that during the pre op process I might lose enough weight to put me under 35 BMI and therefore maybe not qualifying. I feel like I need to bulk up before i start the actual process. Anyone have any info or advice?

I was concerned about something similar and what my doctor told me is that they send the BMI measurement from your FIRST visit, when it's at its highest, to the insurance company. I would double check with your surgeon to know for sure.
