Average Weight Loss during Pre op Diet

Just Wondering the average weight everyone loses during the pre op diet.

I lost a total of 60 pounds before my surgery.  The last 12 of that was during my 9 day pre-op diet.

It depends alot on high much you weigh Pre op as well and also how long your Pre op diet is. That said, my husband started his Pre op diet of 14 days at 355 and lost 23 pounds. I started my 10 day Pre op diet at 235 and lost 10.

It would be difficult to state an "AVERAGE" weight loss;  everyone has different regimens.  Speaking for myself, I went on a protein-first, elimination of refined carbs, and increased walking, lifestyle change; from my first doctor's visit in January where I weighed 365# until my surgery in June, when I weighed 330#, I did pretty well! 

Your results may vary!!

Best wishes,

I just had to do the liquid thing for 10 days. I lost 23 pounds and went from 313 to 290.

Like other posters were saying, there really is not an average, at least not unless you want to qualify your question and categorize your answers by type and length of pre-op diets. Even then you would have to factor in compliance. =)

Good luck in your journey.
