I have no advice as mine is on Sept 17th. I am currently in denial that I really have to do Optifast for 2 weeks, guess i will be hitting reality hard on Sunday when I mix up that first shake. I am starting to get nervous, but it will be so worth it.

Good luck with your surgery.

LOL mine is called Nutrimed or something like that. I started it today, not so bad so far. I am hungry though. Good luck to you as well!

I can honestly say the only pain I had after surgery was in my left shoulder... it was from the gas they used... it lasted 3 days. A heating pad really helped.

Take it one day at a time.

If you have any question please feel free to e-mail me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
