I just got weighed at my last pre-op Appt. I'm down 10 pounds since I started this diet last Thursday. I still have 5 days left on this diet until my surgery. Is 10 pounds good? I feel it's good but not sure. How much have you lost on yours?

I lost 12 on my ten day diet.

Sounds right on the money to me!

I lost 22. But it not really about weight loss. It's about shrinking that fat liver. Follow your diet and the rest of life will happen.

I am worried about mine.
My doctor told me he normally requires a 2 week preop diet, but for me I have to do 3 weeks.
I am scared my liver won't shrink enough, they will get in there for surgery and have to abort the procedure.
I know I am catastrophizing, but I am still stressed.

Have you started the diet yet? I haven't heard so far of that happening. I think your liver def shrinks if you're doing the said diet.

Wow 22 is Awesome!! I know it shrinks the liver but it makes things much better knowing you're losing weight during this thing too! ; )

One of the girls that goes to my support meetings actually stated the diet early. She had a scare when they thought she had a tumor but it was just that her liver was so enlarged. She decided to start the 2week Pre op diet early giving herself a month. That could be any option of you're worried.

You're on a great track. I lost 15 over 2 weeks of liquids. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Amanda!

I lost 15 on a two week diet. Shakes and a meal with some snacks of yogurt. They were thrilled with my weight loss. I'd say you're doing great!

My doctor said they expect you to lose 10. He had me do three weeks instead of two. I lost 20.

I haven't started the pre op diet yet.
I am afraid my liver is so massive it won't shrink enough.
My wife had the sleeve almost 3 weeks ago and the pounds are just melting off of her.

If you're really that nervous, take it upon yourself to do a low fat diet for that week before you start your doctors diet. Then you can settle your anxiety about it a little.
