For those who did preop liquid diet...weight loss?



Recommended Posts

So, I'm curious what you all lost on the preop liquid diet (I'm doing 10 days starting next week) and in the first 2 weeks post op. Partially pure curiosity and partially because I'm supposed to get fitted for new uniforms at work tomorrow and I'm wondering if I should just tell them to make a size smaller than I am now. I wont be into the new ones until after I come back from surgery. Surgery should be 9th (tentative), returning to work the 26th.

It varies so drastically, I don't think there is any possible way for you to predict. Plus, even with a massive loss, you may not go down any clothing sizes. I think I had to lose like 40 pounds before I went down even one pants size.

I lost 11 pounds on my pre-op diet (15 days) and 14 pounds in my first month post-op. Some people lose like 20+ pounds on pre-op, some people only lose 4. Also, keep in mind that not all pre-op diets are created equal. Mine was very strict and only totaled up to 450 calories a day. Some people eat more like 1200 calories a day, depending on their guidelines.

​Like @@JamieLogical, I didn't go down in clothing size until I hit around 35 pounds lost. My pre op diet was strict as well with a long two weeks of liquids afterwards. Pre op I lost 13 pounds and only about 7 pounds the first two weeks post op. It's hard to know what to say about your uniform. Good luck on your life changing journey!

Thank you all for your responses. I knew it would vary but was just curious to hear what people lost at the begining. Getting so excited and worried now that its only a couple weeks away!

I only lost four pounds on my two week liquid pre op diet, but post op my weight came off much quicker.

If I was you I would order one size smaller in the uniforms. I wear uniforms in my job too. I ordered one size smaller and then as I lost weight I would get them altered and then reorder as the altered uniforms got too big.

Good luck

I lost 20 lbs in a two week pre-op at 1000 calories, and that included some serious cheating as well, so adjust upward by as much as 500 calories. I did a lot of exercise to compensate, as I just couldn't stick with 1000 (I can do it with the sleeve just fine). I also found going to liquids the last three days before very helpful.

First two weeks post-op was roughly another 15 lbs. However, as @@JamieLogical said, that may not equal a size, as much of the weight is Water and glycogen storage in your liver. After that, size will follow weight loss a little more closely.

      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.
