How much weight did you lose on presurgery liquid diet?

Wow.  I am on a clear fluids diet now for four weeks.  I'm only three days in.  I hope I lose anywhere close to 40 pounds.  That is awesome!!!

I started my liquid diet yesterday my surgery is the 15th did u do any exercising on this liquid diet cause I feel so drained 

Hi Amberlynn,  I did not do any exercising during my liquid diet.  At the time I needed to have total knee replacements in both knees as I was bone on bone for about 10 years in my knee joints and weight bearing was horribly painful.  The only "exercise" I did was daily chores and cleaning plus a lot of standing and walking through my work.  One of the reasons for surgery was to lose weight so I could have my knee replacements.  

I got new knees and what a difference today!  I have to admit I have never been a great exerciser and would have lost more weight if I had exercised more.  

Good luck with your surgery.  June 15th will be here faster than you can imagine.  Your feelings will be a roller coaster of emotions over the next two weeks but I have NEVER had any regrets and would do this again in a heartbeat!

I lost 13 lbs on my 2-week liquid diet.

I was on a 10 day pre-op diet, liquids only and I lost 18 pounds.  I did tell my office because we're all friendly but I also let everyone know that I don't want to hear any opinions on anything I do!  You don't have to tell anyone anything you don't want to.

I lost 10 lbs on my 2 week pre-op liquid diet (the doctor also said I could salad, mostly lettuce, with vinager and soup), so I don't think 20 lbs. in a month is too much to ask, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen. Believe me, after surgery you will lose PLENTY!
As far as telling people, if you are confident in your decision to have the surgery, you should feel no shame in telling people. You are making a huge decision to better your life and if they don't support that or think you are crazy, then they are just ignorant. I understand it might be a bit difficult, but I think you should at least tell 1 person where you work (that you trust not to tell). I think it will be important to have someone support you when you get back to the office.

Good Luck!

I was on a liquid diet for two weeks before my surgery and i lost 36 lbs.    I am now down a total of 215 lbs since i started my liquid diet.

HHHmm you must work with some strange people.... maybe they need to be educated!!

 hi, i was wondering and hoping you could please share with me what your liquid diet consisted of. i really need to lose weight. 

Omg 36 pounds? I hope to get close.  I'm on day 3 of 14 day clear liquid diet.  I Hope to drop at least 20 pounds.

Great job!

Thank you
