I didn't think I would have an issue but wow is my stomach growling! I have to focus and keep my eyes on the prize!

I hear you...today is my Day 1 also (2 shakes and one lean protein/veggie meal). I usually just have oatmeal and occaisionally some coffee for Breakfast, so I didn't think having a shake replacing that would be a massive change...I was wrong and my stomach is seriously growling. Are you on a strictly liquid diet? What liquids are you having? I'm drinking Myoplex Lite and Lean Body for Her shakes (breakfast and lunch). Staying focused and keeping my eyes on the prize -- hoping these pre-op weeks will go by quickly.

I'm on Day seven! Yesterday was probably the most rough day I've had so far, but I'm pushing through! I'm on 900 calories a day which consists of four Opifast shakes and just green veggies...I came close to quitting yesterday, I won't lie - but lean on the people you need the most! My co-workers have been totally awesome too...

And...I'm down 11.7 lbs since Thursday! THAT is what is keeping me going!

Hang in there! WE can do it!!

I'm on the same regimen and it's rough and i'm only on my second day. Nothing to chew on I wish my doctor would allow the veggies a cup of green Beans would tame the snarling beast in my stomach. 12 more days of the diet then the big day and 2 weeks of Clear Liquids to look forward to. It's gonna really take the pounds off, thats for sure cause starvation works really well for weight loss. Then we get to eat and with a bit of care and luck I, all of us really, can control the constant need/desire for food. At the very least that's what i'm hoping for.
