I am becoming obsessed about the preop diet. I am doing liquids now but did eat meats. Plus I am pms-ing and have water weight. I am scared I won't shrink the liver enough.

Maybe I just need a Xanax lol

The prep diet really is hard but put in your mind that it is the first test of the new you. We all have to learn to refuse the foods and lifestyles that got us to this point.

How much did every one lose on the pre op diets?

I lost 15 in the liquid diet for 2 weeks. I lost 30 altogether from my first appt in November 2011

I lost 5lbs but was only on it for 2 days

I'm been viewing this section for a while. I haven't cheated on my diet. I have 15 more days to go. May 30th is the "" big day. I lost 6 pounds I'm disappointed cuz I thought it would be more but I want to lose 15lbs all together. I'll try. Just 9 mote pounds to go. The first week I lost 10 lbs then my body idk gave up so went up but not much now I'm exercising a lot to try to drop it.

I had a hot dog the fourth day. Since then, I've been good. The liquids isn't the problem, it's the 1000 calorie limit. I have since learned to manage it, and I don't often find myself hungry. Just gotta space it out.

I lost 14 lbs on the pre op diet!

I'm down 19 lbs since may 1st , I cheated but not crazy . I don't think it has to do with how "awesome " your surgeon is its more of how long the surgery will take with a fatty liver. My surgeon is world renowned and he requires a 2 week pre op diet!

I have surgery tomorrow. I have not cheated on my two week liquid diet but that darn cheater voice has been very LOUD the last few days.
