Six more days for me.... 1st day of pre op diet done, not too bad I do have a bit of a head ache. It will all be worth it in the end

I really hate this pre op diet of Optifast. I'm miserable and hungry and feel weak ALL the time. It's 2 serv 3x a day which is like 960 cals. Who lives on that? I had the option of that or a low cal diet made by the surgeon. I tried the other diet first and did great on it but when I switched to optifast- it's been horrible. I switched because the doctors are leaning towards having all patients do optifast. I'm close- surgery is Wednesday and I wish it was done already. When I " cheat" and eat something- like eggs or a bite of salad I feel so much better! I wonder at this point if I should just do liquids mon tues and eat healthy rest of wknd?

My surgery date is 11/27. The closer it is the more excited/nervous I get. I've been in the Pre-Op diet since the 13th. I cancelled Thanksgiving so I wouldn't be tempted. Good luck to all you Nov sleevers!!!

My surgery was on the 20th. Right now I'm just make sure I get enough Protein and walk enough. I have found that I'm hungrier than I thought I'd be. I'm thinking that will stop once I move to puréed foods. I guess that because the liquids are passing through the sleeve easily I can't keep full. Anyone else have issues with hunger?

      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.
