They are called Optifast. It is the same brand as the shakes I am drinking. It is a prescription diet my doctor requires 2 weeks before surgery. It comes in chicken flavor and Tomato herb. Both kinds are actually pretty good. After shakes all day, it is a major treat to have the Soups.

broth my savior! I ended up drinking 3 cups for a total of 30 calories and feel so much better. Good job snow! So I wish I only had a couple of more days to go... I'm worried about my poor class too- especially when I know this week will be filled with treats at school :/

I wish I could just get use to eating like this all the time... Protein shakes, sip broth through the day and a light dinner... Then maybe I wouldn't need surgery :/ oh who am I kidding? I'm already thinking about the delicious, healthy things I'll get to eat in a couple months ;)

on my liquid diet I was allowed cottage cheese. so whenever I would feel hunger in between shakes I would take a bite and it git me through. the losing weight helps shrink your liver and being on a strict liquid diet can cause fast rapid weight loss. its nothing to lose up to 15 pounds while on it

Those on fast Chew gum and eat Popsicles. It's all in the mind so just keep telling yourselves that it is for your health and you don't want complications.

3 more days of liquid diet. This is the first diet I have not cheated on. I'm in the zone now.. In a contest with myself to not cheat. Gotta say I feel good, I've lost 20 pounds, and haven't been too hungry. Lots of Water is keeping me honest. Whenever hunger kicks in, I drink lots of water. Good luck, all!

      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.
