I am preparing for my surgery on august 31st. I just started the 2 week liquid diet that my surgeon requires. I am just wondering how much weight people have lost from this diet?

It all depends on your immune system, exercise along with liquid diet or your physical activity into your daily schedule.

Depends on the person.  The goal isn't weight loss - it's making sure your liver is healthy enough for surgery.

I am having surgery on Tuesday (4 days, yikes) and am currently on the 2 week pre-surgery diet.  The first week I lost 12 lbs.  The 2nd week I didn't stick to all liquids but kept my calories way down and somehow gained 3 lbs.  I had a weigh in and the doctor was not pleased and added another week and even rescheduled my surgery because I am high risk to begin with.  Yesterday I had the week 3 of the diet and really stuck to all liquids and lost 19 lbs.  I'm sticking to it for the next few days and then it's surgery day.  BTW, How are you doing since your surgery?
