How much did yall lose on pre-op liquid diet ( ik everyone is different just curious) i started mine yesterday and have to do 3weeks if it helps im 5'6 258

Hi, I'm new here and so excited to be a part of such a supportive group! I live in SoCal and am going through the program with
Kaiser. We've had 3 meetings and they haven't mentioned a liquid pre-op diet. We are supposed to get our meal plan this week so it will be interesting to see what it turns out to be.

I'm on day 7 and have lost 14.8 lbs.

Day 7 and lost 4 lbs.

Im on day #2 of a 2 week liquid diet and I don't know how Im going to do 14 days of it! At least knowing how much you all lost helps and motivates me! Thanks

Agebabe - same here. On two week diet and day two. The stress relief I get from food is powerful but I need to get my head straight:)

Stick with it I promise it gets easier ???

I'm on day 4 and lost 7lbs. I'm curious to see how much I'll drop by surgery date. I do try to keep in mind most of this weight loss is purely water weight because I'm on liquids only.

What do you do when hungry in the liquid stage?? I think I worry more about being able to stick to that more than anything. I tried a diet just doing one meal replacement shake a day for about 2 months and got so sick of it I don't think I could have drank another one. Was supposed to do 2 a day but couldn't force it down. .

Darkstarwon-

I keep telling myself to keep my eye on the prize. The shakes make me sick if I only do them... but I noticed if I do some broth in between (nice on hot) or a sugar free Jello ( something to somewhat chew) or a sugar free ice pop in between all of the Water it helps alot. You will be amazed what you can accomplish when you have something at stake.

I know exactly how you feel.. I have to drink Glucerna and the only way I can tolerate even one flavor is if I don't let it touch the front of my tongue, otherwise will regurgitate it.. unlike most people I have to deal with this for 12 weeks

My surgery is not set up but my decision on sleeve was made like this..... Get this out of my body so food doesn't fit anymore... I don't have a hard time losing the weight....biggest loss was 125lbs on a protein diet.... However I've gained more each time due to my stomach being stretched.... So when they take 2/3 out, there won't be anymore storage place.. Best of luck in chosing what's right for YOU.

This liquid diet has been hard. The first 6 days were surprisingly easy for me. Then as of day 7, wow! Hunger has been unbelievable. Everything I see looks delicious. I've struggled hard! Day 11 and I am down 16 pounds. That has been a great trade off, but definitely not easy.

Thank you ...that's the one I'm leaning more towards to have.
