Hey don't stress

You can have one little cheat night prior to op. I rewarded myself a cheat night on day 10 on Optifast

Don't go overboard but one cheat night is ok

I had a beautiful tbone with veggies on day 10

Had shakes and soap during the day then had a my steak at night

I still lost 8 kg on the 14 days

Have eaten all my favorite foods leading up to the pre-op diet that starts tomorrow. This is the absolute last time I will weigh what I weigh tonight. Know it will be life changing but really won't know what that means till I live it. Not a lot of support among friends.

Tomorrow is my new day!

Walk away. Run away! Get out of the situation or room that is tempting you. Know that the opti is only for today. Then tomorrow it's only for tomorrow. One day at a time.

If you keep eating on pre-op your doc will have additional challenges which will make recovery more difficult.

Hang in there. You got 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.
