Last Shake Down Surgery On Monday



Recommended Posts

After 2 weeks, I have to say I might miss these Optifast shakes, they were easy to make, plan and in the end didn't taste too bad. On Clear liquids tomorrow and surgery Monday morning.

Good luck to my other 17th band buddies.......

I am on day 3. This is rough. It is amazing how our diet affects us. Last night I developed a massive headache and was vomiting. It was terrible.

How do you get the optifasr shakes?

I had to buy them from my dr's office. Sometimes a headache is a sign of dehydration........try to get some more Water it. You are probably suffering from withdrawls from carbs, sugar, caffine. Takecare of yourself

      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.
