Am on day 4 of my Opti Fast liquid diet. It is not easy, but I am thrilled to say I have lost 15 pounds since Thursday! I hope this means I will be a quick loser after VSG also. I am down 21 since the 5th. How is everyone else doing? My surgery is November 8th.

Hi All, Started my liquid diet today, drinking Optifast and broth and teas in between. I had tried Opifast before as one of my weight loss options, lost alot but gained back over time once you start eating real food again. Getting sleeved October 25th. I am so nervous and anxious balled up into one. I wish everyone luck!!!

I started my liquid pre-op diet on Monday morning. I've dropped 7 lbs in 2 days! :D I have followed the diet as directed and I'm getting in all of my Protein and clear fluids... But, I am feeling somewhat weak and shaky, especially in the morning time. Yesterday, it subsided once I had a Protein Shake and some sugar free Jello. It is the same today. Just curious, does anyone else experience weakness and shakiness while on the pre-op liquid diet?

      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.
