Your doctor should be putting u on some type of liquid diet prior to surgery which will cause u to lose weight. Hope this helps!

That's pre-op? I'm not allowed to have any of that on my liquid diet. Black tea, black coffee, herbal teas, sf Jello and sf popsicles and Water. That's it. I'd give my left arm for tomato soup lol

That's great! Thanks so much for letting me know

they do!?! I have to find that lol Anything that can help change it up over the next 17 days so I don't get bored with it helps!

Hahaha that's the first thing I said when I tried it. If I can't eat it, at least I can drink it lol

Good luck to all of you that have your surgeries tomorrow :-)

Add me too please surgery is set for April 5

Good luck tomorrow!! HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

I'm on shakes for 21 days. The only other thing I'm allowed to comsume is black coffee, black tea, herbal teas, broths (10 cal/serving) and sf Jello and sf popsicles. I am really starting to believe itsind over matter. I know I'm full from all the shakes and Water and stuff...but I still think I'm hungry when I smell food. I believe it gets abit easier each day tho. HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

Thats a great idea. Mentally I know what I'm looking forward too but writing it down and being able to check things off eventually will be awesome! HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

Lol darn it! Definetly do that when I get a chance to. This liquid diet wouldnt be so bad if I didn't have kids (at least thats what I tell myself) but having to cook meals for them is torture for me! I miss food already HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

Thanks btw missmegan HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

That sounds great! I know ill like the chocolate banana lol Guess adding in a small dab of Peanut Butter would be a no no then? HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

Hello everyone! I'm new here and have been on the Optifast since March 15th...ill be on it for three weeks. Surgery April 5th. I'm curious to know what I can add to my shake because the taste gets a lil gross over time and I gag with every sip lol I have found that adding a tsp of pure cocoa powder is fantastic...however, I have 18 more days @ 4 shakes a day. Any suggestions? Thanks! HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

Mine too!! Good luck Sent from my SIII via RNYtalk<br />HW 321 CW 321 GW 175

Referral: May 2012 Orientation: July 25 2012 Appts: End of Aug 2012 - Dec 3rd 2012 Met with surgeon: March 1 2013 Optifast three weeks: march 15th-Apr 4th Surgery: April 5 2013 @ 9am My process went fairly quick I think Good luck to you!

Thanks yea the waiting process here is quite long because where I am from the surgery is covered free of charge by the Health ministry. Whereas the lapband isn't and costs around $17, 000.

Hello everyone I'm new to this. I've been on the list for almost a year (here on Canada its a min two year wait). My surgery is scheduled for April 5th and I juat started my liquid diet on friday
