Thanks for the support and encouragement. I will try to update everyone as soon as I can after the surgery.

I am having surgery on April 1st. My Doctor requires a 14 day Optifast diet. I am on day 5 and have already lost 7 pounds!! This diet isn't much fun but I know it is preparing me for Post-op liquid diet.

Hey everyone this is my first time here. I am having surgery on April 1st. Today is my 2nd day of the pre-op diet, does anyone have any tips on how to make the optifast shakes taste better? Yesterday was awful, lots of nausea and heartburn, today is a little better, when will the hunger pains subside? Any help would be appreciated!
