How much have people lost in the first few days of pre-op diet?

I started the diet on Wednesday, weighed myself today and am 9lb lighter. If I keep losing at this rate, I'll have lost 2/3rds of my weight before the band gets fitted!!

lol scary stuff isnt it. dont be lulled into a false sence though it is mainly water and glycogen.
Just wait till that band is in place and watch the rest of the weight come off.
take care and good luck

Thats brilliant news well done you!!

Its not unusual to lose a lot in the first few days, and it will all help towards your total loss eventually, also do not be scared if you suddenly stop losing weight a week+ into the pre-op your body goes into starvation mode but this is only temporary

wow thats brill!! ive started mine today! r u on the milk and yog diet?

 

[Corey]

I am following the milk and yog diet, but have been told by my dietician that if I want to follow a salad and veg diet, that'll be fine - and can have upto 100g of meat per day on that diet - which will mean I can still enjoy meat and veg on Easter Sunday. But as I am finding the milk and yog diet so easy, am thinking Easter Sunday will be the only day I have solids!

i found having the choice removed of what i could have both whilst on lipotrim and on the milk and yog diet really helped to keep me focused.
good luck to all of you starting your pre op diets it is soooooo worth it. just remember to keep your fluids up
take care
