About how much weight did u lose each day on your PRE-op diet? Today is my 3rd day and I've only lost 1...

I lost 26 pounds over the course of my 2 week pre op diet.

If u don't mind me asking, how heavy were u before? I'm 256...

I was 330lbs.

I am new to all this but keep in mind from everthing I have been reading pre op diets are not all the same. I have saw that some dr.s let you eat one meal a day where others do not,its all liquid stuff that is sugar free, and such.

Mine is all liquid... Atkins shakes and sugar free drinks (crystal light, fruit2o), broth, and sugar free jello or Popsicles...

make sure your broth is low sodium..it dont taste as good but the sodium in some broth is waaay up there and it can cause you not to lose

It all depends on how much you have to loose. I lost 13 pounds in 14 days. Usually it is a detoxing and cleansing of your system to get rid of all the carbs, sugars, etc. I didn't continue at that rate post surgery.

I lost 13 lbs, started at 243 and was right around 230 the day of surgery. I wasn't given a pre-op diet per se, just clear liquids the day before. I opted to do protein shakes during the day and a salad at night, then 5 days before surgery went to all protein shakes.

I was on optifast for 2 wks pre op. I lost 22 lbs. In addition to 5 shakes each day i was allowed 2 sugar free Popsicles , low sodium v8 juice -8 oz and broth if I really thought I needed it. I didnt. I allow could drink caffeine free tea or coffee with no sugar.
