Weight loss from pre-diet



Recommended Posts

:redface: I was just wondering how much weight some of you have lost on the all liquid pre-diet!?!? I started Optifast on 8/30 and had lost only 3 lbs. on my dr. visit on 9/02. My doctor said that some people lose weight quickly when their calorie intake is drastically reduced, while other people lose very little. As of today, I have lost a total of 9.5 lbs. My surgery is scheduled for this Friday, Sep12, so I have three more days of liquids. I hope i can lose another 3 or 4 lbs.

I lost 32 pounds and was on a preop diet for 5 and 1/2 weeks.

Since the surgery I've "relost" the 14 I gained on surgery day!!! and another 9, for a total of 41.4 lost to date. It WILL slow down though I know once I get food again. And I had a LOT to lose to begin with if you'll check my starting weight!

I think it all depends how much weight you have to lose also I am on the pre op optifast diet my surgery is on the 15th Sept but I have been on mine since the 22 August so up to today which is the 09th Sept I lost 12 kgs or 26.4lbs but my starting weight was 149.4kgs or 328.68 works different for everyone and depends if you are be active. ((Good Luck for your Surgery.))

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
