I'm ready to get this next two weeks over so I can start my new journey. Going into the pre op diet I have lost 35lbs. How much did you guys lose during your pre op diets & did you continue to exercise during that time?

I lost 30lbs during my 3 mo insurance process, and I started liquids last Monday. So far on liquids I am down 11lbs! My surgery is next Monday, 10/22. The liquids for me were tough the first three days, but now it is just routien. The biggest thing for me to get through it is staying busy and going to bed early (my energy levels are shot).

Good luck on the next 2 weeks!

Wow you both are doing great! I haven't lost so much on the supervised diet and not sure how long I will need to be on the liquid diet. Not looking forward to it and hoping I can still function!!!

I'm sure you will do great. I'm a little nervous about it myself but I have work, a couple of projects, & exercise to keep my mind off it (hopefully). I also have support people who will kick my butt if I cheat.

Thanks! Good luck to you with your pre op and surgery. My plan is to try to stay busy also. I know it will probably be hard at first but so worth it in the end. I'm wanting to exercise to increase the weight loss but I'm worried about my energy level.

wow, if I had lost 35 lbs before liquids, I wouldn't of had to go on liquids. My surgeon requires 5% and I was at 9 not 12 so I had to do the liquids. if I had lost the 12, I would only of had to do it a few days before

My surgeon requires 2-4 weeks of liquid pre op regardless of past weight loss.
