I start the liquid diet tomorrow and extremely nervous about this part of my journey. Just ate my "last supper" steak and cheese with onion rings...yum! Now I feel miserable! Not guilty...full! Lol kinda looking forward to not having this particular feeling anymore.

I'm on a 2 week Optifast diet. Tried the chocolate shake, Peanut Butter and chocolate Protein bar and Tomato Soup. Also allowed sugar free Popsicles and sf Jello. Ate a Popsicle and yuck lol. Of course I don't like diet drinks either. Nothing tasted like a cheeseburger today...so disappointed! ????

Water yes. Eating often and on a schedule so to speak, no...woke up with a horrible headache this morning so did not have my first shake until like 230. Had 2 at that time and tried to space out the rest. I guess I should eat the sf Popsicles and Jello in between. Did resort to a small salad for dinner. Helped a bit but not supposed to eat anything but the Optifast.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better if I have a somewhat normal day (headache free).

Today I am on day 6 of Optifast, I cheated yesterday. Ate a salad and had a Soup, doesn't sound bad right? Well, I too am only allowed 5 shakes a day, sf Jello and lots of Water. Nothing else! I feel guilty but I have to move on and not do it again. Easier said that done but we can do this.

I think lastmeals are important. You wont ever get to eat like that again...ever. Im 5 months out and although happy I can enjoy meals out, I am also sad I didnt do any last meals. Do your self a favir. Eat a big ol sandwich. You will never again be able to eat that amount of bread and you have to deconstruct everything. Plus, bread is gross when you have to break it down to applesauce consistency. So enjoy before your journey begins

      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.
