Hi I am getting sleeved on August 13th. I just started my liquid diet. Yuck. I found Optifast to be tolerable compared to what I was drinking yesterday. I could barely keep down the whey vanilla Protein Shake, it was horrible. So glad to hear that optifast is ok for preop liquid diets.

You can do it! I am currently on my 10th day of Optifast. Everyone says that it gets easier , and I didnt believe it, because how could it get easier? You get more and more hungry right ? Nope ! It really does get easier, i can't believe it . The shakes and Soup and everything were so gross at first , but now I like it! Just push through and after about the 5th day it'll be much easier. The best tip I can give you , is to make sure you prepare the soup with a blender or food processor! If you just try to stir with a spoon it gets soooo clumpy , gross! I ate the soup like that for the first 6 days before the light bulb came on. This was probably something that a lot of people thought of right away though , haha . 6 days of powdery, clumpy soup- yuck ! Anyway, don't worry, you SO got this!
