I have survived week 1 of the pre OP diet and 1 week to go. I have lost 10 lbs but stalled the last 2 days. I was hoping to lose more weight and go into this with a bang. Still hoping!

Are you weighing every day?

I believe the pre-op diet is more for shrinking the liver, then for weight loss. Obviously with the reduction of calories, weight loss in inevitable however, look at it more that your liver is shrinking and your body will be in the best condition for surgery.

That is a good mindset. I have been trying to think good thoughts that my liver is shrinking!

It is but the more weight I lose now the easier it will be to get to my goal. Since no matter what I did and couldn't get below 292 I am elated I am now 279.

I did not weigh the first week then after my weekly weigh in I was surprised! I now wake up wanting to weigh. Not sure if it is motivation or not so far. As long as liver is shrinking I am happy! Good luck to you.

Don't stress my Dr said it's mostly to shrink liver to make surgery safer but if I'm able to lose a few lbs good for me :)

Is anyone having trouble following the diet? I’m so hungry and am finding it hard not to eat things I’m nOt supposed to. I’m scared they won’t be able to do surgery. Any suggestions please

Leelee you can do it focus, focus,focus. I am on my 9th day and my strategy was to drink my 2 Protein Shakes while at work, plus plenty of Water, tea and a crystal light. When I get home i eat a small dinner of salad or steam vegetables with 4-6 oz Protein. Tomorrow begins my 2 day of only Clear Liquids and then off to surgery on Monday.

Hang in there!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
