? about how much u lost during pre-op diet

[rmanns00 0]

I have 2 days left on my preop diet and I am now down 10 pounds. It really hasnt been too bad. I Feel really good about the fact that I actually stuck to the diet. It is nice to fianlly have a little bit of self control before banding on monday. That is a great feeling. The first 4 days are the hardest but after that it just becomes routine.. GOOD LUCK TO YOU...

I only had to do a 2 day liquid pre-op diet. I lost 9lbs. My pre-op visit weight was 255, day of surgery weight was 246. Two weeks of loquid pre-op sounds harsh. I wonder why the pre-op diet is so different for all of us.

I did 3 weeks of pre-op. It may seem harsh but it certainly got me prepared for surgery and life afterwards. And by day 3 or 4, it was not that difficult. I have met a lot of people who did not do at least a week of preop dieting (or they were on the 2 week diet, and completely cheated), and when they went in for surgery their liver was too thick.
