I am on Optifast. 4 shakes, a Soup and a bar a day. I can have SF popsicles and SF jello...hopefully that will be my saving grace. I am COMMITTED to not cheat on thisl. I have Vanilla and I heard it sucked so I bought some Peach and Orange Crystal Lite to mix with the shake to take the edge off. Hopefully it works. Tomorrow is the first day, I will check in to tell you about on my progress.

Yep I did 2 weeks of OPTI. I never minded the taste (heck, I liked it). The first few days are HARD, but hold firm. After day 3/4 it does get better! Remember, this "fast" is important to shrink the liver and help your surgeon!

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I'm using Lean Body on the go! I'm not really a shake person. It's not that bad.

      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.
