I'm on my prep diet day 4 I'm allowed one meal and 2 shakes a day. I almost feel like it would be easier if I was doing just shakes. I'm struggling today! Any advice?

I have the same pre-op diet. Day 4 of 2 weeks was yesterday for me. I have a shake for Breakfast and a shake for lunch, then 3 to 4 oz of lean Protein for dinner with a cup of fruit and 1 to 2 cups of salad veggies. I'm a meat eater so I've skipped the fruit and eaten more meat. I cheated on Friday cause I had a bunch of steak and then leftover chicken parm. I felt horrible that I fell off the wagon on day 3. But you know what...i still lost weight. Yesterday was easy cause I was still full and today is ok. I wasn't even tempted by bacon my husband made. I decided if I couldn't stay on the diet again then I'd cheat with increased protein. Probably not a good thing to do but it's reality and better than binging on carbs. Plus we have just over a week to go until the surgery.

October 9th here! It seems I may have a longer pre-op diet than most (4 weeks). I've lost 14 pounds so far though and I have two weeks left, so I can't complain. I've stock piled on the sugar free jellos I actually like, bought Bone Broth with Protein in it, found protein juices that are low carb and sugar. I'm getting nervous that my son will be upset if I have to be gone more than one night (he's 3 and very much a mamas boy), so I am hoping for the best recovery possible.

I had my surgery Sept 6th, was on 4 weeks pre op diet Optifast 4 times a day and 1 meal. Surgery was a breeze, no problems or pain. One night stay, was able to eat a cup of Jello, popsicle and 2 10.3oz bottles of Water the next morning (didn't supposed too, but it was delivered). Was to measure it out every 15 minutes to = 1oz an hour. My biggest problem was cooking for my kids and not being able to taste it to make sure it's season right, found myself eating and tasting food earlier than I was to, but haven't had any problems. No dumping or anything. A week out and I was able to eat a taste of cabbage, pinto Beans, okra, and fish.

Ok guys I got a question. My doctor told me I didn't need to do anything except no Water or food after 12am on Oct 5th my surgery date. I keep reading everybody is on liquid only diets for 2 weeks and alot about enlarged livers. My surgeon mentioned none of that. If this helps understanding my situation my SW=280 and my CW=245 I'm a 37 yr old very active male. Just getting a lil nervous reading all this

My last appointment is Tuesday for my final weigh in before the procedure . Maybe then he will tell me no solid foods for 48hrs before surgery.

Buffalo Bill, I do think everyone's doc has their own protocol. I have known (by blood work and biopsy) fatty liver infiltration. Maybe your doc is certain you are in good shape. You should be able to ask his bariatric nurse, or coordinator, if this is his usual or just your situation.
