And by pre-op I mean the 2 week diet that the majority of people have to go on. I know some are 3 and some are 4 and I'm super jealous of the people who don't go on one at all.

I've lost 8 pounds in 11 days. I feel like I haven't lost enough. Should I be concerned?

Your losing weight and that's all that matters. You shouldn't be worried. Everyone's results will vary based on their individual body types and other health issues. Don't be discouraged. You're doing just fine.

I only had an 8 day pre-op liquid diet. I was asked to lose between 10-20lbs and I lost around 13lbs during those 8 days. My surgeon was more concerned that I just followed the liquid diet to make sure my liver would shrink and soften up to make the surgery that much easier and less risky for him. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do fine!

Awesome! I weighed myself this morning on day 5 and realized I had lost 11lbs in 5 days postop! I had expected to weigh the same or more as most people said you have Fluid build up from the IV's, etc... Glad to be in the losers club!

Everyone's body is different! Your body is doing just fine and losing at a rate that it feels is safe and healthy for it to do so.

I lost 11 lbs pre-op on a 2-week low carb diet. I was pretty surprised because I had a low starting BMI (32.7), and expected to lose very little. However, there are people who did not lose any weight at all (doesn't mean something is wrong, that's just their body protecting itself when it feels its not getting the same amount of nutrients).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
