Out of curiosity...

How much did you lose on your pre-op liquid diet?

After 8 days, I lost 9.8 pounds, I'm wondering if my last week will mirror that loss, or if it'll slow down...

I don't think I'm typical.  I didn't lose any weight while on the liquid diet, which was a real bummer because it was so miserable.  I had lost 52 pounds in the three months before the liquid diet, as part of my pre-surgery diet required by insurance.  The liquid drinks were higher in carbs than my pre-op diet, and I suspect that is why I didn't lose any weight on it.

Be happy with whatever weight you lose.  It all helps in the long run.

I'm on day 13, and I have lost 13lbs.  I don't know if this is typical or not, but I will take any loss that helps me towards my goal!  I think 9.8 lbs in 8 days is great, keep up the good work.

9.8 lbs is great. I lost 5 lbs in two weeks on a low carb liquid diet. My friend who had surgery the day I had mine did not lose anything. So we are all different.

15 lbs ,2 week preop of liquids and 1 lean meal 

My preop diet started on 11/7/13 (419) and surgery was 12/19/13 (392).  I lost 27 lbs.

I lost 16 pounds on my two week pre-op diet.  It was such a good boost.
