How much weight did you lose on the pre-op diet

[catho72 0]

I am on day 5 of the pre-op diet and lost 6 lbs so far. I am a little upset because I didn't lose any between day 4 and 5 whereas I lost 2 lbs a day on days 1-3. My dr's office said most people average 12-15 lbs lost while on their pre-op diet.

How much did you lose?

I am on day 4 of 7 of my pre op diet and have lost 4-6lbs (my scale is not very consistant). My doctor said his people usually lose 8-12lbs. I am also due to have my period anytime so I am hoping that is part of it. I seem to lose weight at a snails pace so I don't know why I am surprised. Good luck to you with your surgery.

I lost 14 lbs preop. My diet was 2 Protein Shakes and a salad with meat every day. Sometimes if I was really hungry in the evening I would have an oz or 2 of meat or an extra shake. My surgeon was pleased with the loss.

On day 10 of my pre-op diet, I've lost over 17 pounds. I am being banded on Monday and will be very glad to see the next phase start.

I lost ten pounds on the pre-op diet, which I think I started 10 days before surgery.

I'm on day 11 of 14 and lost at least 15 (that was on Tuesday, I haven't weighed myself since, I don't own a scale). I'm guessing it'll be about 20 by Tuesday's surgery.

What did most peoples pre-op diet consist of? Does slim fast count?

I'm 9 days into my pre-op diet and lost 10 pounds!!! :-) I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scale this morning!

Yes, Jimmielou, I was mostly drinking Slim Fast low carb, diluted by 1/4 c skim milk (I didn't like it so thick). I also had soup/stew (without the meat and potatos, I could have the non-starchy veggies like carrots and onions). I also drank a can of V8 each day to fill me up as a snack. I lost 18 pounds on 2 weeks pre-op (had surgery yesterday and just got home). Doing well, but sore and trying to burp away all the gas.

wow, i'm so envious of all of you. I've been on my pre-op for a couple weeks and i've only lost 6lbs. I've got PCOS and a thyroid problem, so no doubt that's playing a role. still got a month to go, so hopefully i'll lose what i need to.

Can you guys all tell me what you are using for your preop diet? You are all losing so much weight so fast. I have to lose 30 pounds by 2/20 and just started yesterday on the preop because I have to lose so much - I am doing 2 Atkins shakes a day - very low carb and a plain grilled chicken breast and brocolli for dinner - nothing added - I just can't swallow 5 shakes per day - they make me gag after a while? Any help much appreciated. They want me to do all shakes and I can't stomach it - but need this weight to come so badly - should I skip the chicken breast and brocolli and add another shake?
