Did anyone loose weight on their pre-op diet

[jabez 1]

Just curious if anyone lost an significant amount of weight on their liquid pre-op diet. I have to do mine for 2 weeks. Getting Sleeved 05/28

[BackSpin81 350]

Yes! I lost about 10 lbs. And my liquid diet was for 3 days!

I lost 20 lbs in two weeks. I had nothing but 5 diabetic boost/day.

I didn't lose a lot (8 lbs) but I was a bit worried that if I lost too much someone would say STOP and I wouldn't have the surgery. Stupid, I know. I even asked about it but I just has my mind set on doing the surgery and I didn't want anything to cause it to be called off.

I am on Day 4 of my liqid diet and have lost 7 lbs so far.

I did 2 weeks of Protein Shakes plus 1 healthy meal per day and then 2 weeks of just Protein shakes (I waited until I had my surgery date to start). I lost 23 pounds. It was a nice jump start, particularly since I gained in the hospital from all the fluids and then hit the 3 week stall. Since then have been at about 10 lbs per mo average. had hoped for more but its all good. All good.

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 had 12 days of Protein Shakes (no solid foods) and lost about 12 pounds.

I lost about 10 lbs during my 2 week preop diet doing shakes and clear liquids.< /p>

[Mommabird 367]

I lost about 30 pounds leading up to my pre-op diet (I had a 6 month insurance mandated weight loss program) Pre-op was 3-4 Protein Shakes a day and 2-3 servings of non-starchy veggies. I lost 12 pounds in two weeks.

I didn't lose a single lb on my one week pre op liquid diet. I was 100% compliant and even the surgeon was puzzled. But that's why I got the surgery, my body just doesn't like to lose weight. The good news is, I'm 15 days post op and 13lbs down. No complaints here :-)

It will really depend on your doctor, but losing weight is what they want you to do and following their plan causes weight loss. They also know you have issues, which is why they start you on the plan and then keep progressing. If you're worried, talk to your bariatric folks.

I lost 17.5 lbs. Two weeks. Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Shake for lunch, 4oz o Protein meat ( I did only chicken) and 1/2c of non starchy veggies. I was also allowed two servings of each per day broth, sf popsicles and sf Jello. I never did the broth though. Dr said today that he could tell right away that I had did well on the pre op diet
