It did get easier the afternoon of day 3 for me. Day 4 wasn't too bad but I was still somewhat hungry so I had a sugar free jello. Today is day 5 and I've only had the shakes. But I am dreaming that I am eating and I wake up panicked that I messed up.

My surgery is on February 11. I have seen a couple others with the same date! I have been on Optifast liquid diet since January 26th until February 8th, then only clear fluids until surgery. The first 3 days were hard, the hunger was significantly less yesterday and I am hoping today is much better. Other than the hunger I have been so tired so I have spent the last 3 days on the couch sleeping on and off all day. 4th day now and I haven't been on the couch yet! Progress!

It's more close to 10 months because I got my surgery date at 9 months in, but I haven't had my surgery yet and I didn't factor that in. Also after one appointment I was confused about whether they were calling me or I was supposed to stop on my way out to make another appointment, so I called the next day. I was told on the phone it would be about 3 weeks and they would call me, and then she put me through to an answering machine and told me to leave my name to verify I was on the list or something along those lines. They called me back that day and booked an appointment for the following week. I think I just got lucky. I didn't private pay. I also didn't have to do a sleep clinic and I only had to see each of the specialists one time. Thanks I hope it all goes well too, it's getting closer and I am getting nervous and excited.

I am from Canada and it took about 9 months for all the classes and appointments to finally get my surgery date.
