I lost 13 lbs. in 12 days, but I did eat a small chicken breast and a salad every night (with my surgeon's permission of course). I "only" had 115 lbs. to lose total and I think that makes a big difference.

If it is a total liquid diet average is between 6 to 8 pounds. If you are allowed one meal a day ex: 3to 4 ounces of lean meat and a half cup of steamed veggies 5 to 6 pounds. But some may lose more depending on exercise and being faithful.

I lost 12 pounds-- however, I had already lost 56 pounds through diet and exercise, so it wasn't that big wave of water-weight loss some have. Make sure you drink a TON of water....seriously!

When you say liquid diet, what exactly are you following-EX. Slimfast, Optifast. I need to do something, but I also like to eat food. I feel like at this point I want to eat food while I can before the surgery and thenI have to have liquids only. I do need to loose weight before surgery though. Any help would be great. Jen
