Just wondering how much weight do you lose during the 2-week pre opt diet, I'm on day 8 and drinking Opti-Fast HP 6 times a day and only water nothing else...today I weighed myself and only lost 7lbs HW 220.Is that about average? Curious to see what everyone else has out??

High weight was 240 and was at 235 when preop started. Surgery weight two weeks later was 222

I lost 10 lbs during my 2 week pre-op / liver shrinking diet.

And yes, everyone is different!

I lost 50lbs, but I have been pre-op since late Feb and started my pre-op diet early March. Kaiser did not make us do a liquid diet.

Not required to do a diet prior to surgery. However, I did lose 10 pounds right before my surgery.

I was on a 1 week pre-op diet, lost 10lbs. I was supposed to drink only low carb protein shakes, but I broke down and allowed myself some solid protein, but no carbs.

Lost 22 pounds in 16 days. 3 protein drinks/day plus unlimited leafy green veggies.

I finally got tired of waiting and called the insurance company myself and they said it was approved. So I called the wls office and gave them the info they needed. Somehow the insurance company didn't send the right papers over
