@@jcmo, so very exciting for sure!! Whoop whoop, happy dance ????. When do you start the Optifast?

Thanks for the info, just another question if I can. How long was it between the behaviorist/nut and your pre op class? Going for my Behaviourist/nut appointment on Friday, just trying to see the time in between. Is there any tips you can give me for my appointment? Thanks a mil!

I start my Optifast feb 10th. Not looking forward to living on the nasty shakes as my hubby called them. But it is a means to an end.

The process in total will have taken 26 mths from referral from family doctor to surgery.

How long after seeing the nutritionist/behavourist depends on each person.

I was passed thru the nutritionist/behavourist on the first go around. Not everyone gets their ok after the first appointment. I had a hold up of 3 mths to get my blood sugar levels to the right level.

      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.
