Hi ....

I was just wondering ... I'm going to be starting my all liquid 14 day pre-op diet ughhhh lol and was wondering how much everyone lost while doing that ? and the nurse at my drs' office said that aside from shrinking the liver it kick starts ur metabolism for weight loss ... have u found that to be true??

:bored:

I lost 16 pounds preop but I did not have a liquid diet, just a normal diet. I think it helps show that we can follow a diet , and it also kcks start the process. Keep your head up!

I lost 11 pounds before the surgery. I has suregry on 5/20. I go back to the Dr this week for my 2nd post op check. I will see how I have lost at that time. Good Luck!!

I lost 14 lbs on the pre-op diet. I have also lost 15 lbs since surgery on 6/2.

The week of Clear liquids post-op was a killer:thumbdown:, but the number really dropped quick.:bored:

Well I didn't do two weeks, my doctor gave me a date 1 and a half weeks to do post of, so I only lost 12 lbs. It was hell but, I was banded yesterday and I a not hungry nor desire food... I'm quite full lolz.

I lost 13 lbs on the 2wk pre-op diet.

I only had to do 5 days of clear liquids prior to surgery date. I lost 8 pounds... just an fyi though, after surgery I weighed myself a day or 2 after, and it was a mistake to do so. B/c I had gained 4 pounds, but you have to figure in swelling & trauma. It came right back off after my system settled down.

I start my 10-day pre-op liquid diet on the 27th. I'm hoping to lose ten pounds, but I'll be happy with any loss because with this "Last Supper Syndrome" that I'm suffering from, I'm sure I've put on some pounds since my last appointment on the 8th. Shoot, even if I weigh in the same, I think I'll be happy!:wink:

I'm on day 12 of my 14 day liquid diet and so far I've lost 16.6lbs. The first day I lost 5lbs and then it's been pretty steady at losing 1lb every day. I'm hoping to lose 20lbs before Friday (surgery) but if I don't then oh well I've done good so far. :wink:

thanks for replying.... it looks like a good amount for the suffering lol i mean obviously i know i won't cheat at all , but i just can't imagine nothing solid for so long i mean 2 weeks before surgery and then 3 weeks after lol like 5 weeks wow and that's not even counting the time with mushies and all that lol its' pretty scary yet exciting i guess :wink2: hopefully i'll end up losing a good amount to keep me motivated

did not have to do a pre-op liquid diet, but during the six months dietian classes.i lost 40lbs.started weight was 324

surgery weight 285.

today 248.

I did a 3 week liquid preop diet and lost 20 pounds. It really prepared me and it did kick start the weight loss. It also helped with my motivation (its great to see the weight coming off...makes you feel like you can succeed).

I started my pre op diet 5 days ago and I've already lost 7 lbs. Its really starting to slow down now. I have about 10 more days to go. My surgery is June 30th!

I lost 8 pounds during the first week and 1 during the second week. I had a very hard time sticking to it during the second week. And, I was told to eat whatever I wanted the night before surgery, which was a big mistake. I was throwing up the next morning and I had to be rescheduled! I was banded yesterday. Lost two pounds on the first day

I lost 13 1/2 pounds in the two weeks. 3 of which i lost overnight the first day. By day 9 I was already down about 10 pounds.

I have 2 days left on my preop diet and I am now down 10 pounds. It really hasnt been too bad. I Feel really good about the fact that I actually stuck to the diet. It is nice to fianlly have a little bit of self control before banding on monday. That is a great feeling. The first 4 days are the hardest but after that it just becomes routine.. GOOD LUCK TO YOU...
