How much is everyone losing on your preop liquid diet? I was told to expect to lose 15-20 pounds with majority being on the first week. I'm on day 5 of mine. I've been very honest, no cheating. Drinking much more than the required 64 oz. of water. I started at 269 (273 day before due to my last meal being Thai food). I'm 266 today. So weight loss of 3 pounds in 5 days seems a bit low.

15-20 pounds sounds crazy, especially starting from 273. Most people lose 4 pounds of weight from the flushing of the digestive track (don't get too excited you will have to pay it back when you get back to solid food after surgery) plus about 1/2 a pound a day. I think I lost 10 pounds on the liquid diet some people will lose more, some less, but 15-20 while not impossible certainly isn't the norm.

I was told I'd probably lose 8-10. I start my liquid diet may 21st! Surgery is booked for June 4th

Im on day 10 of my liquid diet and I've lost 5.5 pounds. My nutritionist said not to worry as long as I'm following it correctly.

I’ve lost 20 lbs already. I honestly think it depends on the person.

My doctor said not to loose any more weight but I have at least 2 months before I complete my 6 month pre op. I’ve never been told not to lose weight before. My brain is freaking

Day 4 on my liquid diet. Oh this super sucks.

Day 2 for me and okay so far! I don't expect to lose much as I've already lost a fair amount during the 6-month period leading up to surgery. A few pounds would be nice, though.

Really? My doctor told me it ok if I lose a bit of weight because insurance goes off of starting bmi , not finishing.

I'm now on day 5. Not so bad now. Day 2 and 4 were the hardest so far. 4 was because I went to town to go shopping. When I'm out I would just eat out. This time I couldn't. But I'm at a restaurant right now for family dinner. No issues. I'm just drinking my protein drink and enjoying family.

TMI alert:
I pee all the time! It's so annoying. I'm drinking probably 100+ ounces of fluid a day. I try to hold it and go every hour, but today I had to go every 10 minutes. I felt pregnant again. How about you guys?

I’m already down to BMI of 40 if I loose 3 more pounds I’ll be in the 30 BMI’s
I haven’t met the surgeon yet does that make a difference?

Oh, I don't know. I have a ppo so I went straight to the surgeon.

Hang in there hun. I know it can be boring and can make you think of all the OTHER stuff you'd rather be eating, but it's such a short time compared to all our years of weight struggles. Find some distractions (I'm gardening more than ever at the moment as want all autumn stuff planted before surgery 2nd May), add whatever flavour/variety your plan allows for.

You can do this!!!

It mattered with me... I couldn’t drop below a certain weight/ BMI prior to surgery. I had a two day pre op just to shrink liver and get food out of system
