I'm on the meditrim 2 week diet. 2 protein shakes, 1 protein bar, 2 cups of veggies and plenty of liquids. I've lost 10 pounds in 4 days and was told I would only lose 15-20 in the 2 weeks. So I was wondering, how many pounds did you lose on the pre-op diet?

I have to lose 10% of my body weight (actually ended up being almost 45 lbs) before my surgery and if I'm even one lb over even on the day of surgery, they'll cancel it! I still have five more lbs to go...I'm doing a low carb/low calorie thing. Using phentermine occasionally to help with the extreme hunger I was experiencing.

I wieghed 298 when I started my pre-op. When surgery day came I was 262,

so 36 lbs pre-op

I was doing a low carb, high protien, low fat diet.. I did not have to go on liquids until day before surgery

I only lost about 18 pounds on preop diet..

I lost 24 pounds.. shocked me!

I lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet. The first few days the cravings for carbs were pretty bad but I got over it.

i have been doing the pre-op diet since october and have lost 50 lbs. it is low carb, low fat, high protein diet from Kaiser.

i like it and think it really sets you up for the way you will eat after surgery.

I was supposed to start the pre-op diet ten days before surgery but I started a little early. I'm on my third day and I lost five pounds -- low carb, low fat, high protein for Dr. Aceves.

I lost 12 lbs. pre op and 49 lbs. post op...61 total as of today 6 1/2 months out yayyyy!

BTW this puts me undoubtedly under 40 BMI. Thank goodness I'm self-pay.

I lost 16.6 lbs on my 2 week pre-op diet! YAY!

I lost 20 over the 6 month plan. On the day of surgery I had lost the last 2 pounds to make it an even 20.

I lost 200 lbs on my preop diet but that's because I had to go through so many insurance hoops, and got a new job that wouldn't let me have surgery for the first 90 days, so instead of 3 months that I was expecting my pre-op last a full year.

I lost 16 lbs pre- op. I was on a low carb high protein preop for 1 week. I am sure several of those lbs was water weight.

I am on day 4 of my clear liquid 2-week pre-op diet and have lost 6 pounds. The first day was awful but it really isn't so bad now. I get 3 protein shakes a day and tons of water. I can also have chicken broth, sugar-free jello, and sugar-free popsicles but really haven't had much of that since I've been pretty satisfied with the shakes and water. We'll see though...11 more days to go so I may be loving the jello by then!

I lost 36 lbs on my pre-op diet.
