How Much Did You Lose?



Recommended Posts

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
