How much did you lose throughout entire pre op diet



Recommended Posts

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

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

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.

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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
