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.

Sorry - not a pre-op dieter - but just wanted to hop in and say best of luck to you! Hope you have a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

My pre op diet was also Optifast. I know its hard to stick to it sometimes - but dont give up on it - it does wonders! LOL

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! 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?

That's awesome! I do get shaky sometimes. It will get better. I am on day 6 and I have dropped 23 pounds.

That's awesome! Way to go.
