weight loss

[jo bow]

can i ask how much are you expeted to loose befor your op ? x

 

[MrsPill]

There is no fixed amount I don't think- not that I know of anyway but what they look for is a reduction in the size of your liver to be able to shove it out of the way and your liver reduces in size when you do the diet
(each provider has their own individual preferences) but they all basically do the same thing. I lost 12lbs in 2 weeks- it was a nice start.

i think weight loss before surgery was an individual goal i was at srh and they were lovely x

i was never given a goal just to stick to the diet to shrink the liver, but i lost 15lbs which was a bonus.

I had lost about 11lbs between seminar and dietician so was asked to lose 1kg (about 2.5lbs) so that it was 1 stone in total by the time I met the surgeon 6 months later x
