Please tell me how much you lost on your 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I am wondering what to expect. Thank you for your input.

Depends on which diet your Dr. has you on- My dr. puts his patients on the sugar busters diet, which is where you cut out anything white like potatoes, flour, rice etc and you eat lean protein, veggies and 100 % whole grain foods. I lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet. You mention yours will be liquid- you will probably lose more than I did! Good Luck!

Totally depends on the person... I lost 10 lbs, but I had been doing WW for a few months prior so I didn't get that big first-week loss that some get the first week you're on a new diet.

I had a starting BMI of just over 40 I am a 33 year old woman. I lost 11 pounds on a 12 day pre-op liquid diet. It was full liquids, protien drinks, and sugar free pudding/jello. I think it matters what age, starting weight and gender you are...as well as the type of pre-op diet they put you on...Everyone differs

I have not started mine yet I am still doing all of my testing and classes. But my friend was banded in December and she lost 23 pounds on her liquid pre-op diet. I thought this would maybe give you some insperation.

i was put on a low carb, 10 day diet, and lost about 2 lbs.

I los 20lbs preop

I've lost about 14 pounds in two weeks - mostly liquids with a little fat free cottage cheese, chicken breast and vegetables thrown in occasionally. But I have to do almost two months - not two weeks! My surgeon requires you lose 10% of your body weight before he'll operate so for me that's 28 pounds. I'm half of the way there. Hope to make it for my May 13 surgery date.

My pre-op liquid diet went about 800 calories or less per day and the protein goal was 80. In those 9 days I lost 9lbs.

I didn't have one.

I have been on a liquid diet for 9 days, I have lost 7lbs so far. That means I only have 107 lbs to be at my goal! Yippy.

:cursing:

My pre-op diet was only for 2 days, I lost about 6 lbs.

I did a 3 day pre-op and lost 4 lbs!
