So I was proactive in starting my liquid diet two days early, with today being day one. My Pre-op isn't until tomorrow (1/28/14)......It's not as bad as I thought. If anything I'm having trouble trying to consume the daily intake of the list provided to me by my nutritionist. Either that or I've completely wrapped my head around the whole idea of my lifestyle change. :)

My new mantra is: Nothing tastes as good as I want to feel and look.

Thanks for letting rant. Lol

Good luck to you! I started on January 17th. My surgery is this Thursday. The first few days were really hard, but it got easier after that.

What kind of weight loss should I expect on the 2 week liquid pre-op?

It all depends. I haven't gotten on a scale yet and won't until the day before my surgery. However I have noticed a change in my face and that's my skinny jeans (yeah skinny jeans on a Thick Chick) are fitting a little looser.

I'm participating in a long term study as part of my lap band surgery. The nurses told me that the average weight loss on the two week liquid phase was between 10 to 12 pounds. If the participants didn't loose a minimum of 8 pounds, their surgery was automatically postponed. We were given five Protein packets a day for fourteen days, totaling 800 calories a day. Other than Water, no other liquids (broth, juice, etc) were allowed. I did what I had to do bc I was getting a free surgery out of the study. I lost 17 pounds. Best of luck to you! NOTHING tastes as good as HEALTHY feels!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
