how much did you lose on your pre op diet

i feel like i have not lost a pound and all i have had for the last 12 days is protien  shakes. how much did you lose?

I did low carb for 1.5 weeks and liquid for five days. I think I lost 14 lb. Everyone is different. I saw on the main board where someone did shakes for a week and lost 1 lb. A lot has to do with your metabolism and how hard your body hangs on to fat. Just my opinion.

10 lbs and mine was shakes and food (very little however!)

I lost almost 20 pounds, but did liquids and protein only for 15 days.  It all varies and depends on so many things, including salt intake, water volume, sleep, etc.  Don't get discouraged !!

Mine was 2 days of clear liquids and I lost 7 lbs

i am glad you asked this.  I was wondering the same thing.  I have been on clear liquids with the exception of 3 atkins shakes a day for the past 8 days..I have lost "only" 8 lbs. Surgery is the 29th I doubt when I weigh tomorrow it will be down much more.

i have lost only 3 lbs. on only protien shakes and clear liquids for the last 12 days wtf

I lost one pound after 2 weeks of optifast. I only cheated a couple of times. My doc said as long as i didnt gain any it was ok. When i had my first weight in one week after surgery i had lost 17 lbs. SO i guess its okay as long as you dont gain any.

that makes me feel better right now  i am really trying to up my water intake i am thinking maybe i am retaining water?

Did liquids and 3 protein shakes a day for 14 day and lost 20 lbs.  Alot of it has to do with the amount you need to lose also.  The bigger when you start the more your body is willing to let go of.
