How much weight did you lose pre-op?

Just curious how much weight people lost on the pre-op diet. I've lost 20 lbs. but I don't know how much my surgeon expects/wants. The nurse said not to worry, just lose as much as you can.

I go in on Monday. Yikes! Am I really doing this? Looks like I am!

I lost 99 pounds during my six month, insurance-required diet program. I started at 397 on March 21, and I weighed 298 the day of surgery on September 28. I weighed 238 this morning.

@blizair09: Wow!

@Cander: Awesome!

@illailla: Lol!

@Travelher: Way to go!

I lost 50 lbs on the 2 month pre op diet. My dr didnt say how much I needed to loose but tbe day before surgery he said he only expected me to lose 25-30, but was glad I lost as much as I did BECAUSE my liver and other organs needed to be healthy for surgery and lowered risks. So I too am glad I lost ad much as I did.

So keep going!

57 lbs. I wasn't given a specific amount I had to lose, though. I think they were more interested in whether or not I could stick to a plan long-term

I lost 20 pounds over a 6 month timeframe.

About 30. 25 of which were during my two-week pre-op diet.
