I'm in my first day preop and I'm STARVING! I'm allowed 2 shakes and one 4 oz protein and 1/2 cup green veggies. In between I can have 2 servings of each: broth, jello & Popsicles (sugar free of coarse)

10 pounds lost forever, here. Never going to see them, again. Yay!

I lost 18 pounds during my pre-op diet. But they surgeon set a goal for me to get to, or he said he may not do the surgery. I was walking and walking and walking along with my liquid diet. I am have lost 20 pounds since my surgery 10 days ago and 38 all together, Seeing the scales today was very inspirational (first time I had been on the scale since being sleeved.)

10 lbs (the hard way LOL)

15. Lbs.

23lbs, my pre op diet was 3 weeks.

20 Pounds on Pre-op diet but gained back 11 in fluids during the surgery. I'm now a week out and I've lost another 3 lbs.

I lost 16 in the first week. I'm in the middle of week 2 and haven't lost any. :\ very frustrating - especially since my liquid diet IS a liquid diet - no actual meals. I know what I lost the first week was mainly water weight.

15Lbs on a liquid diet about 750-800 calories and 105g protein.

I lost 30 pounds on the liquid diet 3-5 shakes per day only

Due to a roller coaster ride with my insurance.. my 2 week liquid diet ended up being 10 days. My first week I lost 11 1/2 lbs & my 2nd week I only lost 3 1/2. I was on 3 shakes a day from New Direction (which we had to use & buy from the hospital). They were 200 calories each, included my vitamins & I never felt hungry on them.

I just finished day 3 of my 14 day pre-op liquid diet. I have lost 7 pounds the first 3 days. I won't be able to get my Optifast until tomorrow. I've been drinking Boost Protien and Muscle Milk. The Optifast is so expensive, but that's what my surgeon requires. I will have a revision from band to sleeve on May 14, 2013.
