How much weight did you loose pre-op?



Recommended Posts

Soo my surgery is Wednesday and I've lost 10lbs...I've been on a liquid diet for 12 days...I think I've done great considering I cheated a little but I'm kind of afraid that I haven't lost enough!!! The doctor didn't give me a specific amount to loose but Im nervous!!! Soo i'm just curious to see if 10lbs is a failure... :(

I could be wrong, but for most folks the preop diet is more about shrinking the liver, and not about losing so much weight. I don't think you will be seen as a failure...10 lbs is great!

I lost 15 on pre op liquid diet but I did not cheat at all during this two weeks. I had a lot of food funerals before that and did not lose a lb.

Mine was called a liver shrinking diet. It was 3 weeks of 3-4 Protein Bars and 3-4 Protein Shakes a day with as much coffee and Water that I wanted. I lost a total of 23lbs. While in recovery the Doctor told my wife they know I followed the diet to a tee because my liver was tiny.

You're fine - they'd probably have a few words with you if you had gained weight.

From the moment I decided to do this I was on it... Eating healthy and exercise, for me it was a mind set. I lost 25 lbs pre-op and have not and will not look back.

      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.
