Hi everyone. I will be banded on Sep 25th. This is the last of three weeks of Optifast...I can barely choke any more down! Will be nice to eventually eat more normal food again (though much less of it)!

Hi MamaMac and welcome to LBT! I so know what you are talking about with those dadburn shakes. I got to the point where I would rather starve than drink one more. I remember the first "mushy" food I had was scrambled eggs that my dh made me. You would have thought I was eating the finest steak in the finest restaurant by all the moans and sounds of delight I made while eating them!

By the way, just wondering where abouts in Michigan you are from. I was born in Grand Rapids, lived in Sparta and Wyoming (Michigan) and moved to Florida when I was 14. I still have tons of relatives up there though.

Harley Girl...You have done great! Could you tell me how I get to my replies when I first come onto the site? I can't figure it out...there is nothing in private messages, but I don't know what else to click on.

Thanks, Mama Mac

      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.
