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?

I was told too lose 15lbs pre op, I will find out tomorrow how much I have since my last weigh in.

I lost 15 lbs in my 2 week pre-op but I was also eating my 4oz of protein meat in the evening with either a vegetable or salad

I lost 10 lbs in my 1 week pre-op

I lost 12

Do not worry, I lost 11 pounds as well on 2 weeks liquid diet and the doctor said it is good. After the surgery I was losing 2-3 pounds a day, when I moved to the purée stage, weight loss went down, was losing 1 pound a day. Overall for 3.5 months I lost 44 pounds.

I lost about 10 lbs in the pre, op had my surgery on feb 1st and today is feb 22 and I have lost 24 lbs. keep going losers, god bless us all!!

I lost 15 lbs on a 2 week pre-op. It's been 5 weeks today since surgery and I have lost another 18 lbs. It's not dropping like I thought it would. But they say it will. Your body just has to get adjusted to what's happening to it

I lost 15 lbs. my first week after surgery. Then maybe 2 lbs. since the post-op weigh-in. I'm currently 5 weeks out and feeling very frustrated that I haven't lost more.

I had my sleeve surgery 2/20/17 spent one day in hospital. Home now the first thing I did was weigh myself. I was heavier this morning post surgery. Maybe it because of all the IV fluids and gas pumped in my abdomen? I have cramps how long will this feelings of bloating last?
I lost 16 pounds pre-opt came home weighed 10 pounds heavier. Is this normal?

I'm day 7 and only lost 4. I no energy so I sit a lot now. I'm normally very active.

Dont beat yourselves up. Weight loss is different for everyone!

pre-op diet? my surgeon did not have me do one....so be easy on urself as per my surgeon it's not necessary.... i actually had to gain 23lbs to qualify for gastric sleeve, i am 44lbs down today , surgery date: 11/18/16 weighed in at 243.6 i am down to 199.0.

I lost 13 pounds during the pre-op diet. I heard / read about people losing 20-30 pounds and was very discouraged, anxious and nervous that it may cause problems during and after the surgery. All my doctor told me during the date of the surgery was 'not to stress on it' and that each person's body weight loss takes its own course and not to keep comparing with others weight loss scores.

I keep seeing people post about pre-op diets that they had to be on for weeks. I'm a little confused because my Dr only requires 3 day liver shrinking diet before surgery.

You'll find that everyone has different diets.. preop and post op. So many variables between surgeons! And, each surgeon probably makes it different between patients based on individual BMIs.
