I went cold turkey on food and caffeine when starting the liquid diet. I can't imagine working nights without caffeine at least! Good luck to you. Stay strong! I'm at Day 14 of all liquid. I've got one more day, then surgery Thursday. I weigh myself every morning and that helps to keep me motivated. I've lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. Keep at it!

Yeah.. Thank you for fixing this. I love the app. It is so convenient.

I've had to stick to website or now, but I miss the app! Wish it was working!!

3 more days of liquid diet. This is the first diet I have not cheated on. I'm in the zone now.. In a contest with myself to not cheat. Gotta say I feel good, I've lost 20 pounds, and haven't been too hungry. Lots of water is keeping me honest. Whenever hunger kicks in, I drink lots of water. Good luck, all!
-
My week is finally here! Thursday for me. Prayers for all having surgery this week. I am excited and nervous all at the same time.

Lolawaiting, Keep going! I am on day 12 of all liquid, no Jello, no Popsicles. Good side... I have dropped 20 pounds so far! That part of it is amazing.

I gave up on the app. Using the website now. Anybody know where to report app issues?

They are called Optifast. It is the same brand as the shakes I am drinking. It is a prescription diet my doctor requires 2 weeks before surgery. It comes in chicken flavor and tomato herb. Both kinds are actually pretty good. After shakes all day, it is a major treat to have the Soups.

Friday Weigh-In!
snow25 replied to KevinsBabyGirl85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first Friday Weigh In Starting Weight: 255 Today: 240 DOS: next Thursday!! Liquid pre op diet had really helped to jump start weight loss. -
I am so heartbroken for those families. It is so senseless. I pray for healing for that town and comfort for all the families effected. Absolutely tragic.

If your surgeon wasn't specific, maybe he is okay with liquids and broths and sugar free products. Hang in there and start guzzling Water. I stay full as long as I drink tons of water. Hang in there! I weigh myself every morning and that keeps me motivated! I've lost 16 pounds in 10 days! Feels good. Hopefully you will be all cleared up on Monday. Good luck. When is your surgery? Mines Thursday!
-
Depends on your surgeon. My doctor has me on a strict prescription liquid diet.. Optifast.. For 2 weeks pre op. he specifically says no food except for these shakes. I'm finishing up Day 10. I would go nuts for some Jello right about now!
