So, I'm just curious.... how much have/did you lose on your pre-op liquid diet? I'm on day 6 and have lost 8lbs already. It's kinda crazy. Definitely keeps me motivated to continue this 4 week diet! Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's hard... only drinking 4 protein shakes a day plus raw veggies. That's all I'm allowed to have.

I lost about 10 pounds, but about 4 of those pounds weren't real weight loss, just emptying the digestive track.

Wow you guys go get it I am so glad I only have to do 2 days but it is clear liquids ahhh

I am on day 5, down 10lbs. Mine is breakfast protein shake, lunch protein shake and a protein like fish or chicken with a salad. I have 9 more days then switch to liquid diet for 3 days.

brookie my preop diet is very similiar to yours.

I feel like my diet pre and post op are very strict.

PreOp and up to 7 weeks after my surgeon will not allow me to have any solid food.

Does anybody else have a diet this strict?

· 2 weeks preop diet: protein shakes and clear liquids only

· 2 weeks post op diet: protein shakes and clear liquids only

· 3 & 4 weeks postop: I can add in creamy liquids

· 5 & 6 weeks postop: I can add in pureed foods

· 7+ weeks: I can slowly integrate solid foods.
