I'm Oct 23rd also. A barrel of mixed emotions...excited and nervous. I've heard over and over again that the pre op diet is the worst. Have to admit, I just ate a small 1/2 cup of chili. But, probably because I didn't eat my shake for lunch, just a cup of broth which was definitely not enough to make the hunger stop.

How are you all doing on the pre op? I've lost 5.5 lbs already!! What a great start to my new life ;)

Ok like the opti shakes from heb the double chocolate and been eating Jello and Soup also. Had one slip this weekend and had a bite of something I shouldn't and I hated it, I thought it was weird my mind has been set on that is unhealthy, which is great and the shakes aren't as bad as I though. I got insurance approved just need the doctor and hospital to agree on the same date, one had the 23 another this Tuesday? Grrrrr

Hello 23rd bandsters so it's been a week now since I have started up the Optifast and I have lost 5 pounds. hope that's good progress I really hate the Soup love the shakes but hate the soup so I replace my soup with go Campbells soup and it's pretty good and I'm still under the 1000 calorie mark each day. anybody else like the soup tell me what I can do to make it better

So yeah I forgot to mention I did slip up. I had a bologna sandwich which I don't even eat much bologna and a hot dog but I guess I am still showing progress with the 5 pounds I'm going to do better this week.

      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.
