Just completed day one of my 14 day liquid diet! Already sick and tired of drinking Protein Shakes but am going to do this because I have a goal to meet! Let's do this journey together!

I have been easing into it though....by getting all my Water in, eating cottage cheese for lunch, Protein shakes & then some Protein at dinner. I should be approved any day!! Argghhhh

How is your pre-op going? How are you feeling about it all?

On 2nd day and am doing ok! Was a little difficult yesterday but a lot better today! Only problem I had was the constant running to the bathroom to tinkle most of the night. When I got up I weighed myself and had actually lost 3.5lbs (I know it's Water weight but I'll take)! Can't wait for the next 13 days to end!

If my boobs get bigger than my tummy I am 2 seconds from being anorexic. With the weight I am a 38C! I know I am going to say bye bye to them real soon! Hope to go no lower than a 36B!

I have same surgery date and am on day 2 of Optifast. Yesterday was hard. So far, vanilla with extra vanilla extract and ice is my favorite shake so far. Have you tried the Soup yet? chicken is surprisingly flavorful. Lost 2.8 pounds in one day. I'm curious to see how many pounds I'll loose in the next 2 weeks.

The first day is was down 3,5lbs and this morning another 1,5lbs - 5lbs in 2 days!! Went to Dr. today and he said with exercise I could lose from 15 to 20lbs by surgery day but on average at least 10lbs. I will take it!!! 3rd day and so far I am not killing anyone in the family. Good Luck!

That's my date as well. I just finished day 4 of 11 on my Optifast diet. It hasn't been that bad. I've lost 10 lbs already. The chocolate shake and the chicken flavored Soup are the best. It will be interesting to go a full week at work on this liquid diet.

It looks like we are having the surgery on same date with same surgeon!!! Awesome. My arrival time is 7:30am. One week to go. I can't believe I made it through a week of Optifast!

Good luck. Maybe I'll see you in recovery. LOL

      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.
