1 week clear liquid, how much did you lose?



Recommended Posts

Just for fun, if you had a 1 week clear liquid preop diet, how much did you lose that week?

Im on day 3 and its tough, but seeing the scale move is encouraging. After two days, I'm down 5 pounds.

The first couple days is tough, but it does get way easier once your body gets used to it :). You are doing great.

Also, the amount of weight one loses really varies and depends alot on starting weight (among a myriad other things). To put things in a bit more perspective, you *could* look at percentage of weight loss instead.

Good Luck!

I didn't have to do the clear liquid diet pre-op, my surgeon has her patients to < 1500/calories/day for two weeks pre-op. I did lose some, but I don't remember how much. I also, of course, lost post-op on liquids for two weeks, but again I don't remember how much.

I was on clear liquid for 3 days and lost 13 lbs. My surgery was 12/26, so the clear liquid phase was over Christmas Eve / Christmas Day, which included three family gatherings. Man, that was rough! Absolutely worth it, but still pretty tough to sit through those meals sipping my chicken broth!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
