Life as I know it officially ends in the morning. I begin my pre-op diet. Thankfully it's not all liquid for the entire 10 days. I am super excited and ready to begin! How much weight did y'all lose on your pre-op diet?

Life doesn't end because of pre-op...it STARTS! You are preparing your body for a big battle that will lead to a happier, healthier life!! But, I lost 15 pounds in 7 days doing optifast shakes. That was the only thing I was allowed to have besides water.

I was only on liquids for the week before and I lost 7 pounds. Good luck and look forward to hearing your progress along the way!

I lost 28 lbs during pre-op diet. I was on it for 2 1/2 weeks. It is tough at first, but stick to the plan and you will be good to go!

I agree that a new, much better life begins. I just meant that life as I know it now is over, and thankfully so. You all did great on your pre-op diets! Hope you are continuing to have great success!!
