5th day of preopt ....don't really understand the liquid diet full of sugar ....why not boiled shrimp or tuna...low in calories, almost 0 fat and high in protein.

I KNOW what you mean that's the hard part. I'm just drinking slimfast all flavors and drinking coffee and tea in between. I can have a small salad at night which also gets very old...Can't eat another salad...I've lost 6 pounds since 9/11 and I am drinking my tea and coffee with sugar which I think helps with the shakiness ...just cut down on the amount of sugar you add

HATE THE LIQUID PRE-OPT DIET....:biggrin:

Thanks, I read success stories to keep myself motivated ...try to avoid the failure stories...I have two friends that got the lap band and they have done great.

Think your right...I went today to the nutristionist to sign consent forms...and ask her. She basically said the first 15 lbs you loose comes straight off the liver...so they basically just want you to loose 10 of 15 lbs before the surgery. liquid diet the easiet way to get there and it prepares you for the post opt diet...I did cheat last night with some shrimp and green beans but only 8 small shrimp..this in place of my garden salad..went right back to the slim fast today and not planning on cheating again although I don't think it hurt because it was less than 150 cals and 0 fat. It helped a lot just to have some different mid way...I think I can make it the next 6 days and I have lost 6 pounds since I started. Thanks so much for responding
