I'm feeling pretty discouraged. My pre op diet was two weeks in total and I've only lost 11 pounds... I always hear people losing 15-20. What did you guys lose?

Don't compare, I lost 30 but then stalled hard after surgery, it can drive you crazy to compare to others because there are just too many factors

The intention of the preop is to shrink the liver. I only lost a few pounds but am doing well after. No two bodies or situations are the same, so don't be discouraged. Your gonna do great!

I lost about 8lbs. However I had lost 24 lbs before that, besides my pre-op wasn't 'all liquid'

I lost 12 only need to lose 10 but anything you lose helps your surgery

I lost 10 lbs but they cut my pre op diet to 5 days because they open more surgery days during the holidays. Also remember some pre op is liquid, others are modified, heavier people lose more weight initially, males tend to lose faster than females etc.... as someone previously said it is about shrinking your liver and reducing the fat around it.

I lost 22 in 14 days but I've been losing very slowly after surgery. Mine was all liquid though. It was rough. 11 is great! 11 less pounds you have to lose after!

My Dr said most his patients lose under 10. Not to stress losing pre-op.
