I am struggling with my 800 liquid Optifast diet. I have to do it for a full month. I started Wednesday and am wondering how I will do this for another 3.5 weeks! I am having a really hard time today because it is the weekend. Working while on it was easier.

I'm on liquid diet day 2. Hungry, grumpy, angry. Big work stress and my Mom is in the hospital with pneumonia. I want to eat so badly. Someone encourage me!

I am feeling the same way. I am 6 days into liquid Optifast and going insane. I want a piece of grilled chicken or fish so badly. I did break down and hard boiled an egg and ate it. I figured 70 calories wasn't that bad. I will still be under 900 for the day. 3 weeks to go. :(

      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.
