Please tell me how much you lost on your 2 week pre-op liquid diet.

Depends on which diet your Dr. has you on- My dr. puts his patients on the sugar busters diet, which is where you cut out anything white like potatoes, flour, rice etc and you eat lean Protein, veggies and 100 % whole grain foods. I lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet. You mention yours will be liquid- you will probably lose more than I did! Good Luck!

Totally depends on the person... I lost 10 lbs, but I had been doing WW for a few months prior so I didn't get that big first-week loss that some get the first week you're on a new diet.

I had a starting BMI of just over 40 I am a 33 year old woman. I lost 11 pounds on a 12 day pre-op liquid diet. It was full liquids, protien drinks, and sugar free pudding/jello. I think it matters what age, starting weight and gender you are...as well as the type of pre-op diet they put you on...Everyone differs

I have not started mine yet I am still doing all of my testing and classes. But my friend was banded in December and she lost 23 pounds on her liquid pre-op diet. I thought this would maybe give you some insperation.

I've lost about 14 pounds in two weeks - mostly liquids with a little fat free cottage cheese, chicken breast and vegetables thrown in occasionally. But I have to do almost two months - not two weeks! My surgeon requires you lose 10% of your body weight before he'll operate so for me that's 28 pounds. I'm half of the way there. Hope to make it for my May 13 surgery date.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
