7 Pounds Lost In A Week With Liquid Pre Surgery Lap Band Diet



Recommended Posts

I have been on the pre-surgery liquid diet (Optifast 800 and clear liquids) for a week now and have lost 7 pounds. I am happy with that and hope to lose another 7 in the second week leading up to surgery. That will be a nice start to this new life. I hope and pray that I am going to see great things happen with the lap band. I haven't cheated and don't plan to because the band is only as good as how I work it. Good luck to everyone having surgery soon (and Congrats to those who have had it).

Take care,

Jen

With that attitude I am sure you will do great! I am 5 days post op. I was only on pre op diet for 5 days (I was on a time crunch). I had surgery on Friday. Since starting the preop until now, I have lost 14 lbs.

how long before your surgery? I started my liquid diet 12/10 but my surgery is not until 01/05. I am okay now but I can not imagine doing this for two more weeks. Any suggestions?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
