jaymi2521 13 Posted December 6, 2012 Oh Lawd... I just started the 2 week opti fast diet. I'm going to need support to make it through these 2 weeks! Day 1.. Done. Anyone else doing liquid diets right now? I am. It's better because my nutritionist said that I can have a cup of veggies and fish/ chicken/ salmon only 4 ounces for dinner... So I really don't be that hungry. I'm trying to drink the shakes by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury so far I've only had the chocolate one it was good. I didn't care for the chicken Soup. Maybe I made it to hot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaymi2521 13 Posted December 6, 2012 I've been sucking on sugar free Vitamin C halls... And that's been helping when I feel like I want something sweet 1 hunni_82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovealways 287 Posted December 6, 2012 I very well might be starting my two week liquid diet on Christmas day. I fear the liquid diet more than the actual surgery! Lol...I'm serious! 4 vickilynn1973, DianaDominate, Cdssmith and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else doing liquid diets right now? Snow it gets better- after about 3-4 days you don't even crave foods. It is challenging though-- don't give up, keep your eye on the prize !

tkd259 36 Posted December 6, 2012 I just started today:( The shakes are making me nausated and I don't really like Jello but I am trying to eat it. I have surgery on the 20th, I hope it gets easier!! Teresa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snow25 188 Posted December 7, 2012 My surgeon doesn't allow any foods other than the opti fast shakes and Soups. Day 2... Done. It wasn't so bad today. Having the Soup to look forward to for dinner was a nice treat. It's made me realize how much of my life has been centered on food or meals. Now I'm focusing on activities instead. It's hard, for sure, but I am determined to stick to it. I always, always cheat on diets. I want this to be the one I follow through on. 1 2bhlthy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also my doct allowed me 4 ounces of Protein and a cup of veggies, because I get headaches. U should check into it. I use the shakes and Soups all day then the meat and veggies at night since I'm home with the family by then, an drink Water in between Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OleHippieGal 275 Posted December 7, 2012 I have to start my pre liquid diet on the 21st surgery the 31st. I was told liquid through the day and some sort of entree at night like the smart ones or lean cuisine. I think I would rather have lean beef or chicken with a good salad instead of those dinners. I already hate them from all the pastas and creamy sauces on them turns my stomach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snow25 188 Posted December 7, 2012 Old Hippie Gal, I think those frozen meals are a bunch of processed food with little nutritional value. Lean meats and fresh veggies would probably be a better option. I'm sure your surgeon wants you to watch portion size. Day 3 of all liquid diet for me! I lost 5 pounds in the first 2 days. Hopefully my liver is shrinking away for easy surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
