I'm down 46lbs the doctor wanted me to loose @ least 30lbs before surgery :) today is my day & I did it super proud of my self ... I was on a low carb high protein diet .. My Nut is amazing & has been with me every step of the way :)

I was on my pre op diet for 7 days and lost ten pounds before surgery.

I lost 12 pounds pre-op. The pre-op diet I had to follow was 3 meals a day 3-4oz protein, 1cup veggie and 1 piece or 1 cup of fruit per meal.No caffeine, no carbonation, no alcohol no snacking and at least 64oz water a day.

My doc put me on a phase one low carb lean protein diet I have lost 17lbs so far I have one week left of that and then I start liquids for two weeks. I only needed to lose 10-15lbs for surgery. I have found if I stick to the diet and follow it to the letter the weight comea off!!!

I am on day 8 of my 14 day clear liquid and protein drink only diet (60g protein and 800calories a day). I have dropped 20 pounds in the last 8 days. I am curious what I will have lost all total on this Pre-op diet. My surgery is July 17.

My 10 day liver reduction diet starts Friday. I am supposed to drink 4 protein shakes a day; 64 oz of water and only liquids; anything sugar and caffeine free and no carbonation...like broth, crystal light, and jello.

I was on a low-carb diet (under 20 carbs per day) for two weeks and then two days right before surgery of clear liquids. I lost 19 pounds.

From first consult in July, I changed my eating habits immediately. Lost 18 lbs by nov surgery date, but not sure how much of it was for the 10 day pre-op diet.
