I have been ordered to do a one week pre op diet and I want to lose at least 10lbs during this process. I'm not scheduled to start it till Wednesday but I'm thinking about starting Monday. How much weight did you lose on your pre op diet?

I lost 8 lbs. and promptly gained 8 lbs. in the hospital. It took me a week or so to lose the 8 lbs. again.

My pre-op diet was 2 weeks - I was allowed 2 shakes and a lean and green meal. I lost 6.5 pounds.

My pre op diet was 2 weeks, 1200 calories, low carb and one shake a day. I lost 11lbs.

I was allowed 3 protein shakes and unlimited green veggies. Lost 22 pounds in 16 days.

How is that possible?

Yup, the IV fluids, gas & swelling will get you all the time.

I lost 18 on my pre-op diet.

I've been on mine for over a month and I've lost 15.

I lost 9lbs on pre op. I was sleeved 1/31. Had my first dr apt on 2/6 and had lost 18lbs for a total of 27lbs total!!!

I lost 13lbs on my 2 weeks preop diet. It was 3 hakes and 1 meal consists 1/2 cup whole wheat carb, 1 cup of non starchy veggies 4 oz of lean protein.

I see that a lot of you get to eat on your pre op, The only thing I get to do is eat sugar free Jello. I have to drink a minimum of five Protein shakes a day, and the rest is Clear liquids.
