How much weight did you lose doing the 2wk pre op liquid diet?

My seminar was yesterday and my surgery is May 16.

Oh wow, was that the group seminar where they give more info?

Did you have your first surgeon appointment? Was it at the same time at the seminar?

Sorry for all the questions

No worries. No, I haven't met with my surgeon again. I've seen nurses, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and several other doctors. I haven't met with my surgeon since January. I've just had to do all the other appointments.

I have been on a 800 calorie 5 optifast shake a day diet since Tuesday. 10lbs down so far. I have tolerated it fairly well. Tonight I made mississippi pot roast for the family. I took some of the broth and chilled it. Them scraped the fat off of the top, then reheated. Man, that hit the spot and was only about 2oz of broth.

My pre-op diet is 1000 calories, but not liquid. My liquid diet begins the when I come out of surgery. Is that unusual? It sounds like everyone is doing something different than what the nutritionist said in my pre-surgery seminar.

I have no liquid diet pre-op. Just high protein, low carb/fat like I've been doing for the last 3 months anyway. Clear liquids 24 hours prior to surgey though.

I go in July to get sleeved, my nutritionist said only 5 protein shakes 1 cup almond milk gonna be brutal

I am scheduled for July as well - July 26th to be exact. Nervous but so exited for my new life!

I'm so glad I am not the only one. I've been so worried that I have the wrong info. Finally have my pre op assessment tomorrow with a dietician, I have kept a food diary as I have been scared I have messed up. My surgery is on the 23rd and have booked time off, don't know what I would do if it was postponed.

I'm so excited now. I want the surgery done now so I can stop obsessing over every meal and it's calorie content
