Hello Everyone!

Hi,

My name is Kellie and I live in Calgary. I moved here from Texas a year and half ago with my husband and daughter who is 6.

I entered the Calgary Weight Management Program in January and got the call last Friday that I will be having surgery on July 9th.

I wasn't expecting to have surgery until September so I was in a bit of shock.

I am currently on my pre-op diet of Ensure High Protien drinks 4x a day and that is all. It is really hard right now, but only 12 days left of the intense hunger.

I hope to find some information from those of you who have been through this before.

Thanks!

Hi there!

I'm on the Optifast liquid diet for 2 weeks. This is my 8th day and the hunger feeling has subsided significantly. I did great my first day, but the second and third were the WORST! I feel for you, but hang in there, it gets better. Good luck

Try not to think about the hunger so much...focus on your goal....after surgery, the liqid diet will get better....

I am also on my pre-op diet. Actually now I don't feel quite as bad. My doc has me on 2 Protein Shakes a day and a Protein and veggie dinner. It has been hard during the day but going into my 4th day it does seem to get easier. I am praying for strength over the weekend - I think that will be hardest for me. Keep up the good work and positive attitude and we will make it.
