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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
