Hello All,  I've started my pre op diet. I'm doing Slim Fast and I've lost 5lbs since Sunday. What did you do to lose weight before your surgery?

I'm doing Optifast, finishing day 8 of 14 today, I have lost 10lbs.
Starting in June I was doing a 1400 cal diet, 100-125 gr protein and about 80 grams of carbs, average. I lost 60 lbs doing that. I did that to prepare for my new life and make my surgery easier. My surgeon told me the more you lose before the surgery the easier things will be for him and me. My pre op diet was a very easy transition from what I was doing also. I haven't had a problem with hunger at all.

Your tickers look like you will have only about 20# left to lose at the time of your surgery next week. Really?

I lost 7 lbs the first 2 days on it, but haven't weighed myself since. Will find out on Tuesday when I go in for surgery.  :)
