Weight loss on pre-op diet?
I think I lost around 15 pounds but when I weighed in at the hospital for surgery they told me it was 20 pounds. I must have lost 5 between my last office visit with the nut and the surgery. It was a nice start. Good luck and even though it can be tough it is worth while to stick to it and don't cheat. It will be over before you know it.

Well, I only lost about 8 pounds in the 2 weeks Optifast diet and I never cheated! But then again, I only have 50 pounds left to loose as I lost 40 pounds on my own since we had the orientation to surgery date. . And yes, there scale is definitely out by about 7 or 8 pounds. Weigh yourself at home before you leave and then when you get home so you know where you're at to start your post op loosing. I am still loosing very,very slowly (1-2 ounds a week) and is quite frustrating as I was loosing just as much on my own before I had surgery. I guess, the good thing this time is, I can't eat as much now, so won't put it back on YEAH! Good luck, Barb C
