Here I Go......

Congrats on your pending surgery!

I started today as well, but it isn't a liquid diet. I drink 3 shakes a day and have choice of salad and protein OR a lean cuisine dinner less than 300 cal and at least 14 g protein and got a few freebies here and there like jell-o , cucumbers, gum, etc. Was told tomorrow I can have chicken or turkey with green beans. Good luck! My surgery is dec 6.

I start my diet on Friday. Tomorrow is my day in my relationship with food as I know it. I do not plan to eat much; in fact I have not been that hungry the last few days. Just trying to keep my fluid intake up.

I wish you both all the best in your journey to good health. My surgery is Dec 2nd. My clinic only does one week protein shake diet for all three of the procedures.

Good luck everyone:). I started my pre-op diet today my surgery is schedule for 11/30

good luck estrickl. I'm ending my 5th or 10 days of pre-op diet (shakes and lean greens). My surgery is on 11/30. Stay strong! You can do it!

Today was my 1st pre-op diet day too!! My surgery is Dec 6th. I drink 2 shakes a day & can have a protein for dinner---I can supplement throughout the day w/non starchy veggies, broth, sugar free jello & cheese. About 8 years ago I was on a medically supervised liquid diet (new direction) and their shakes werent bad----oooohhh but these are not tasty!! lol I just hold my breath & suck it down. Luckily I could eat turkey tonite as my protein!! But I had to give up diet coke & the caffeine withdrawal is killing me!!!

Good Luck!!

mine is Dec 7th!!!

Mine is Dec 6th. I thought doing the Optifast through Thanksgiving was going to be hard, but it really wasnt.

Good luck!
