Ok, so is there a ball park amount of weight i should lose on these shakes?

Anyone want to volunteer the amount they lost? I have my surgery this friday and i have lost 12lbs on the shakes and meat.

I am not sure if that is good or bad. o.O

My surgery is Friday as well!!! I've lost 6 so far and I'm not sure as to how much I should lose my doc never told me. I'm guessing it all depends on the doc. I didnt have to start my liquids until tomorrow but started it today!! I'm kinda freaking out about my liver not being small enough!! Anyways good luck on Friday and keep me posted on how you do and are doing.

Good luck to the both of you!

congrats on friday surgeries - pre-op weight loss varies and each pre op diet seems to be different. I lost about 11 pounds on 2 weeks of 3 shakes per day and one "lien cuisine" or equivalent meal - i never cheated once even with the fourth of july weekend in there - ha! BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!

I feel the EXACT same way about my liver, thats why i was asking.

The weigh loss sounds about normal, men loose more then women , good luck and keep in touch

My plan is to be on here Friday night to let everyone know!!

I'm scheduled for 5/23 and have 5 lbs to lose in 11 days for my pre-op. I'm also freaking out that I may not get there. I'm doing the shakes, and a lean dinner. Wish me luck!

wow Allison, you did Great!..I`m getting some great idea for when its my turn to roll into the op room..

So not looking forward to starting this liquid only diet. I was advised to drink one protein shake and three slim fast shakes for the first three days. After three days, I can trade one of the shakes for a small garden salad...... no small meals at all.....Surgery is set for the 25th..

Oh, ok so that's what they meant by a fatty liver. I'm day 1 of full liquids, it wasn't so bad only 6 more days to go!

did any one get heart burn on the liquid diet?
