Recommended Posts

I can't believe my date is finally coming. Now my excitement is turning into nerves. :nervous

Was thinking of going out and buying a heating pad...anyone find that really helpful?

Wow..I've survived ten days of optifast..now if thats not an accomplishment! I'm dying for pizza....hmmm...how many more weeks until I can have a nibble?

Keep thinking of all the things I should of had before I had to start the optifast.....like a huge steak, and a chinese buffet one last time..

Oh well...new life from now on, right?

LOL-I did do a Chinese Buffet the night before my surgery. I know, not a great idea. :guess But what was interesting is that I didn't want to pig out, and when I ate a little more then I should have I felt yucky.

YES - a heating pad was one of my favorite things, my left shoulder hurt a lot for about 5-6 days, and the heating pad felt great.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery Swanny. I went through a mourning of a loss of food and my old way of eating while I was going through my surgery preop diet. The nice thing however, is that now that I'm done I can eat almost everything that I did before, just in much smaller quantities. I'm hoping you'll be surprised how little you miss things. Also, the weight loss generates an enthusiasm for more loss and therefore makes it easier to stay away from "bad" food.

Best of luck on the upcoming surgery. I found walking, bending and taking Tylenol (instead of Vicodin) went a long way in making my recovery easier.

Your welcome Swanny, you still have 3 more days to go hopefully the worst of your cold:sick will be gone, if not you should call the clinic and ask what they think. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
