I started my pre op on Monday and haven't lost a lb. it's driving me crazy. The hunger doesn't hit me till after I get out of work. I work evenings 5pm to 1am so by 12 Ive got mini war going on in my stomache. It doesn't bother me. The no lbs lost bothers me more.

I'm sure it's frustrating...what type of a preop diet are you doing? I would try cutting carbs down to 20-40gms per day to speed up wait loss...I'm personally on the Protein shakes only and Im only eating about 20gm carbs a day.

A shake got Breakfast a good meal w veggies n protein and my shake for dinner. Today I'm thinking about doing only shakes see if that helps.

I would limit the veggies maybe and eat only protein maybe...veges have carbs (some less than others) the shakes only is a killer!!! But go ahead and give it a try..we are going to have to eat that way after surgery anyway :)

i can do a shake for breakfast.shake for lunch and dinner would be protein only.in between sugar free jello and boullion only.water also.i guess when i leave work im so hungry from not eating at work those those shakes that all i think about is food

Yes I think I will do that. Hopefully I can drop at least 5 more :) thanks!

My doctor's office requires you to do Opti-Fast. It's expensive...I spent over $180 yesterday for two weeks worth of shakes, soups and bars yesterday. I am not looking forward to the pre-op stage, but I can't wait for post-op!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

Thanks to you, I am going to start my pre-op diet early. I want to lose as much weight as possible pre-surgery. Thanks!!! :):DB)

If you're starving eat a piece of meat or boiled egg or some string cheese I've had to do that and it won't hurt your weight loss
