The Last Real Meal



Recommended Posts

As tomorrow approaches I feel happy excited, scared, anxious and intimidated all kinds of emotion are running thru me. I start my Optifast tomorrow and im so nervous about it. Is it weird that im not scared of having the surgery (probably cuz ive been under the knife about 3 other times), but this liquid diet got me on edge, I guess if I didnt have to cook for my kids I would feel a little better. So I had my last real meal today, it was steak potato and veggies as of 8am tomorrow I will b on the grind with this liquid diet, I kno I will need words of encouragement to get thru. At least I have a friend who had the surgery about 4yrs ago she's willing to go on a liquid diet with me.

That's nice of your friend. The liquid diet is hard at first. As the days go by it gets easier. Good Luck.

How long is your liquid diet?

Four long hard weeks as I type im tryna get down my first shake and OMG Im gaging im gonna have to doctor these up cuz my stomach cant take it this vanilla shake reminds me to much like milk and I cant drink that it comes rite back up soon as it hits my stomach. I literally have to do the little kids trick plug my nose or hold my breath and get it down, well at least it'll take me a while to drink it.

      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.
