Just for fun, if you had a 1 week clear liquid preop diet, how much did you lose that week?

Im on day 3 and its tough, but seeing the scale move is encouraging. After two days, I'm down 5 pounds. [emoji119]

The first couple days is tough, but it does get way easier once your body gets used to it . You are doing great.

Also, the amount of weight one loses really varies and depends alot on starting weight (among a myriad other things). To put things in a bit more perspective, you *could* look at percentage of weight loss instead.

Good Luck!

I didn't have to do the clear liquid diet pre-op, my surgeon has her patients to < 1500/calories/day for two weeks pre-op. I did lose some, but I don't remember how much. I also, of course, lost post-op on liquids for two weeks, but again I don't remember how much.

I was on a liquid diet for 5 days and lost 11lbs.

One week? Lucky! I have to do it for two! I start Jan 13,

I was on clear liquid for 3 days and lost 13 lbs. My surgery was 12/26, so the clear liquid phase was over Christmas Eve / Christmas Day, which included three family gatherings. Man, that was rough! Absolutely worth it, but still pretty tough to sit through those meals sipping my chicken broth!
