I feel the same. Don't know if I can do this. I don't know why my dr doesn't allow veggies and broth at least. I have to drink 5 chalky shakes that leave an awful after taste in my mouth, lots of Water and sugar free Jello. Of all 3 Optifast I kinda prefer the chocolate right out the freezer. Unfortunately it's the least I purchased :(

I have to do a 2 week liquid diet. I did one week then my surgery was canceled bc of a sinus infection. It was very hard!

I like the " oh yeah " Protein Drinks. They are good. The vanilla and chocolate so I bought a case of them on Amazon it was cheapest there. I can also do broth, cream based low fat Soups and blend out so there's no chunks and they were good too. I also had the sf Jello which wasn't so bad but I didn't like the sf Popsicles. I did make a smoothie of low fat yogurt low fat milk a banana and a scoop of vanilla Protein. Blended it up and it was good too.

Hope this post helps some.

I'm on my second day liquid diet. I'm type 2 diabetic and on insulin. My blood sugar is down in the low 90. I'm dizzy and cold. What happens if I eat some Peanut Butter and crackers? My surgery is next Tuesday the 26th. Sooooo excited

I ate a half of a Peanut Butter sandwich.. I felt like I was going to faint yesterday. I got shaky, cold and very light headed. I felt better after I ate the peanut butter. I am just doing the.best that I can.

I agree with above.....let your doc know. He may have something he prefers to the Peanut Butter or he may have other advice! Good luck!!! Hopefully you're almost done with insulin forever!!!!!

      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.
