Anyone else scheduled for that day or week? Am on 2nd day of total opti-fast (did 1 1/2 weeks 2 meals opti and one light meal and lost over 10 lbs). This is definitely the hard part - watching and smelling food but am trying to keep myself focused

I am on for the 17th. The 2 week all liquid diet hasnt been too bad for me. Mothers day BBQ was rough and then when my brother brings home mexican, my favorite hot dog and fries, ice cream and cookie dough at night is when it gets hard!!!

Its almost over , its almost time!

My kids desperately wanted Chinese food over the weekend, but that is my weak spot. I can't have it anywhere in the house. I asked them pretty please, for me, to not have us bring it while I am on this pre-op diet, and they understood.

I promised to get them pizza anytime - I can always resist that, by history I know if I eat one piece, I eat 5, so I never even start with the first piece. But no chinese! Egg rolls .... yum ... who knows when I will have those again, I'm sure they are not very band friendly, but oh well.

I am with you two, I am next week!

May 26th here, I feel like a kid waiting for xmas. So cant wait to get started, I have been fighting a losing battle with my weight for 30 something years. WOOOO HOOOO!! i am even looking forward to the pre op diet. Went a little crazy before hand to get bmi up for insurance and have really felt crappy.

May 21st is my special day, so I am right behind you! I have my pre-surgical physical exam on Monday at the Outpatient Center where I will be having my surgery. I'm glad I get to see the place beforehand. I think it will be more real to me after Monday.

i cannot believe that my surgery is in FIVE DAYS!!!! :lol:I have been doing my two week clear liquid only pre-op diet and i thought by now i wouldnt want food...but man, am i wrong! all i can think about is FOOD!!! haha BUT i can say, very proudly, that i have not cheated one time!!:smile2: i am looking forward to putting something in my mouth that i can chew...and that isnt clear...haha

hope all you guys are doing well this wekeend :redface:

I am on Monday, 5/17!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently on my pre-op diet....Wed - Saturday = only liquids plus a dinner (Protein, salad, & steamed veggie); Sunday = liquids only; Monday surgery!!!!

I ALMOST made a mistake. I havent really craved anything because the Protein shakes make me full and I only had to do it for a few days. But I wanted a few pretzels after dinner knowing I wont have any solids for 2 weeks now. I put them in my mouth, chewed and then internally yelled at myself and spit them out. I even rinsed my mouth out so I wouldnt taste them. What was I thinking? We are all human. :redface:

Best of luck to you!!!!

How was it Butter fly?? I start my preop diet tomorrow, got to go out tonight to my favorite place for a cheese buger and beer. Hope your recvery is nice and easy. Right behind ya. :thumbup:
