I've just started my liquid diet today. My surgery date is October 5th. I am at my highest weight at 225. I am 59 years old.

Can’t stay like this much longer. I realize that I have to make some serious changes in my life. I’ve decided to write a sort of journal of my experience of going through this time in my life. I admit that I am somewhat scared and anxious but it is something that I want very much. I want to feel HEALTHY again.

Just had my first shake. Not so bad. Probably won’t say that after a few days of these drinks. I’m nervous and I don’t know why. I realize that I have to do this for 2 weeks. Will I succeed? I will really try my best. To come this far. I must push myself like I never have before.

I have all the co-morbidities that go with the weight gain such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, joint, back pain and sleep apnea. Very dangerous combination.

Im a 10/fiver too! Good luck!

Im Scheduled for October 6, I started my pre-op diet on Sept 22. It is HARD; I'm trying to eat/ drink every 2 hours to keep ahead of the hunger. as long as I commit to that its not AS bad. What is CRAZY is that I got weighed at my pre-op appointment and then I weighed myself this morning, and I'm down 7 pounds .. For me starting this is making me feel like this is getting more real.

I think for me the pre-op diet has really made me think how much I want to do this operation. I'm starting to get past the being hungry all the time. My NUT is making me eat 'normal' food and I'm not on the shakes. I think being on the shakes would be easier. I've done CWP and was much easier than making food. I'm 9lbs down since 19th and I feel good. Hang in there Hun.

My dietitian has put me on 3 weeks of Optifast Meal Replacement shakes x3 times daily. I'm also allowed to have salad vegetables such as lettuce, capsicum, onion, tomatoes and no fat Salad Dressing. I can also have steamed vegetables at dinner time except for starchy vegetables such as potato, corn etc. I can have sugarless jelly and sugar free diet soft drinks too. I can cope with this.

      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.
