I Am On My 1St Day Of Pre-Op Diet!

[kittylove32 90]

Today is my first day of the shakes. The chocolate was awesome! Kept me full for 4-5 hours. The strawberry which I am having now kinda stinks. I don't like it. I can't wait to See how much weight I will lose! Anyone else starting pre op?

I wish i was Good luck to you when are you scheduled for surgery?

[Deevee0927 10]

I started my pre-op last Friday, only weighed myself once on Monday and had lost 4 pounds. The shakes don't keep me full more than 3 hours, especially at work, so trying to stretch it out as much as possible. On Optifast there are only 2 flavors that my doctor offers, vanilla or chocolate. Had both, not bad. Not the greatest but not bad.

I have suffered from headaches every single night though, so hopefully that will subside soon.

Good luck on your journey!

I am taking in a lot of water, maybe more than I should. Trying to curb my hunger. I'm always in the washroom. lol!

I am on day 4. Can u say super hard? It does get easier everyday, especially after getting on the scale and seeing I have lost 5lbs in 4 days. Soy Protein Shakes, sugar free pudding/Popsicles/custard, LOTS of Tomato Soup, Water and crystal light. Hardest times for me are when I have to cook for the kids. I'm a good cook, I don't use recipes. Cooking without tasting just seems wrong at times.

Thanks Britt! I used to always drink Water and now I don't drink it like I used to. I love diet coke. I will be sad when I get the band because I can't have it anymore

I'm tired of shakes and it's only day one of the pre-op diet!

I lived on diet pepsi and coffee, I stopped cold turkey from the first day I started the pre op. Maybe the caffeine withdrawal is what is giving me the headaches, but it's been pretty good so far. This is so not an easy journey.
