Im curious to know how much weight you lost on your pre-op diet? My doctor has me on a two week but I was thinking about maximizing it with a three or four week. I dont have to lose a percentage or a set amount of pounds I was told it was just to shrink my liver.

I lost almost 40 on my own pre-op diet from April 5 to surgery day, July 17. About 10 of that was on the required 3-day pre-op diet.

I was on a pre-op diet for one month - Optifast for dinner and low-carb/high-protein for breakfast and lunch. Lost 11 pounds.

Base on my experience. I am only Day 3 on my liquid diet ( clear liquid) so I am looking 1-2 lb per day. but I was able to loose 10lb just eating moderate for 1 months.

the total you can see in the ticker.

I lost 30 pounds in 4 months of pre-op. About 10 of those were in my pre-op liquids right before surgery. My surgeon requires 7 days of pre-op liquids.

I was sleeved on 8/21 and haven't lost any weight yet. I think my body has gone into shock and needs time to adjust to the 30 pound weight loss AND the surgery. I had one early morning panic but this great group of people talked me off the ledge. Nobody has NOT lost weight when they follow the program, which I do, so I know that I'll start losing when my body is ready.

Good luck!

I was on a 7 day required full liquid pre op diet to shrink the liver before surgery. I lost 8lbs in that week prior to surgery.
