Same here, I did a two week Opti-Fast and it was $200 for three cases. I got two of chocolate and one of strawberry. I actually like the chocolate and it is very satisfying. I never actually felt hungry. Now, the strawberry is still in my pantry. I didn't like the taste of it. But I had plenty with the two cases of chocolate. I lost 13 pounds during that two period. I did NOT cheat ... only the Opti-Fast and liquids, and the SF popcicles and Jello. You can do too, because if you've come this far, you are committed to changing your life, and this is the first major step! So hang in and keep telling yourself, you are in charge of the body from now on!!!

I go tomorrow for my two week post-op visit. I went last week to my PCP for a one week checkup and I had lost 8 pounds. I feel great, the surgery was so easy. Gas pains is the worse of it, and I used the Gas-x strips that just dissolve on your tongue and they worked great! My incisions have healed beautifully and I'm very excited about this journey and all the great people I have met along the way!

God Bless,

Jeanie

:tt2:My doctor had me on Optifast, I didn't loose any weight but my sugar count went up and I don't have diabetes, 17gm of sugar in optifast. He charged me $200 for 81-6oz. containers but I ask if he would approve Unjury, he said yes, it's a lot cheaper but you do have to add milk and put one scoop in a glass. Go to www.unjury.com it's cool.:thumbup:

      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.
