Yep - lost 25 pounds in the month and a half prior to surgery thanks to Optifast (aka Optifamine...). I worked for that weight loss as well as the weight lost after surgery, so I do count the weight loss prior to surgery in my total pounds lost...

gesh i feel horible im pre op and almost gonna get my surgery and i believe i have gained instead of loosing its been such a stressfull journey for me at one point i had just given up saying i would be fat for the rest of my left life due to it taking so long insurance approvals etc.. now ill see my surgeon on the 7th and who knows if he will proceed to do my surgery i been on a one week diet so far and doing pretty well but holidays and stress have not been on my side so im sure i have gained alot dont know how much yet and to top it off i have a fatty liver i have to shrink before surgery

Yes, I put my self on a part time liquid diet since mid November and went from 400 to 385, that was my weight at my first doctor visit, then I started full time liquid diet 2 week pre-op and lost another 15lbs to the day before my surgery. So total weight lost prior to surgery was 30lbs. I think it made a big difference on how quick I recovered

Part of my loss was due to the 2 week pre-op diet but I went from 355-353.5 during the 6 months I was working on getting my labs in order for surgery. My surgeon refused to do surgery on me until my labs looked better. I lost another 10 pounds the first week of my pre-op diet and another couple pounds the next week.
