Weight lost during pre-op diet.

[donnamarie_RNY 8]

I'm currently on day 6/14 of my pre-op liquid diet. Curious as to how much weight people lost on their liquid diet before surgery and how long did your surgeon require you to be on that diet?

I'm currently down 13 lbs from day 1. It's pretty much one of the only things that keeps me strong throughout the day.

I lost 14 pounds in my 2 week pre op diet. My diet was liquids only, (Some allow for 1 meal a day).

I was on a two week liquid only diet. Only lost four pounds and I never cheated.

13 pounds is great!! Hang in there it will be over soon. Good luck on your surgery.

I am almost over my 2 week pre-diet and I have lost 15 lbs required by my doctor...however the scale that I have to weigh in on Thursday has me only losing 7 so not sure how that is going to work....guess i will have to see and I still have a couple more days so hopefully that scale will go down a few more lbs especially after the colon cleanse I need to do day before.

I only had to be on a one day liquid diet, and amazingly lost 3 lbs. But I was also required to lose 10% of my beginning body weight during my six months of classes.

I'm nervous my doctor's scale will also read differently! I'm required to lose 10lbs and I'm hoping to get below 300 before surgery. Only 2lbs to go!! Good luck to you and your surgery! What day is it scheduled for?

Lucky! The liquid diet has been a struggle for me. I didn't have classes beforehand though.

I am scheduled for Thursday at 7am...i am so excited. I wish it were today. Good luck on getting to your first goal (below 300)...when i get below 300 for the first time in 15 years I am going to treat myself to acrylic nails Goals are good

I was on 10 day and lost 20 lbs. It was exhausting but I stuck to it without cheating

Yeah I'm noticing that I'm exhausted too. Especially after work. I've picked up a lot of extra hours since I'll be out till December 1st. Hoping to lose some more weight before surgery! Still have a week to go.
