Hi Onlynoddy,

My understanding is that it completely depends on your provider, surgeon, weight, bmi etc

I was on my pre-op diet (slim fast/soups/fruit/veg) for 2 weeks before my op (I had a band fitted). I wasn't given a goal of weight to lose, I was simply told I had to stick to it to shrink my liver. It was quite frustrating not knowing what to aim for, but I was advised that I concentrating on Lbs lossed/gained etc is not in the future for me & therefore, I didn't need to begin my Weight Loss journey by measuring lbs!!

I am sure there will be someone along later able to give you a more definitive answer, but I would suggest that if your surgeon/specialist hasn't give you a target weight, try to concentrate on the bigger picture - though I appreciate this is easier said than done

hi, i am a bander and had a 7 day yoghurt only diet. i think it really depends on your bmi as to how much you can expect to loose. in the 7 days i lost 8lbs. HTH.

The milk diet is only usualy 7/10 days 2wks max I think. Are you sure its for 1 Month ?????:wave_cry:

I did the milk and yoghurt for 10 days. I had to do it twice because my op got cancelled but to do it for 1 month is unusual.Where are you having your op??
