2 weeks on the liquid diet and now i'm pre-op 4 days and it has been rough.I'm having problems with taking all these vitamin and breaking up my pills to take. i had no ideas as far as the liquid diet so it's been rough.on the up side i have lost 10 pounds in 4 days.You will find out when you go to your first visit with the doctor, the purpose it to shrink the liver.Hope everything go well and i will be here if you have any questions.

How much are you drinking? I never drink as much as I should but I didn't find the 2 weeks pre Op Optifast TOO bad .. I had three Opti's a day and vegies at night and then water or diet cordial during the day (often) and I had sugar free lollies and chewing gum to eat at work .. hang in there it is SO worth it ..

My surgeon said THANKS to me also for being good on the pre op diet! He said my liver was great and it really helped him .. so I felt good about that .. also I got CoLOUr PhOtOs of my operation .. did anyone else get that?

I have pictures of the band inside me .. I can see my liver and spleen and heart .. WHAT A TRIPPY thing that was to see !!
