    Default Weight / BMI loss from pre-op diet to first week out

    Hi all,

    I know it's all very individual, but I'm curious how much weight you lose, first of all in the two week pre-op diet, and then in the first week or so after the surgery.

    I'm probably crazy, but I'm getting excited and I need to hear the motivation to get me through 2 weeks of fluid!

    I didn't have to do the 2 week pre-op diet, but lost 4 lbs in the week prior to surgery and 4 lbs in the week after surgery.

    FYI not all doctors have you do a pre-op liquid diet. Mine did not and I have lost just as much weight if not more than many. The shrinking of your liver is the purpose of the pre-op liquid diet and yes it is as difficult as it sounds since your still going to have the hunger cravings or signals form your tummy!

    Just know it probably will be the hardest part of the adventure because you do not have the tool limiting your intake, not screaming feed me!
