Day 3 of my 12 day diet. Optifast shake x5 for 10 days and clears for 2. I want to chew on my own arm.

Good luck I know you'll do well!! I'm already doing two shakes a week while I'm in kaisers 12 week classes and I'm sooo sick of them!! It's only been 3 weeks I think my the time I get to the actual pre op diet I will want to kill these protien shakes!

I am on my last day of 14 days of liquid so you have my sympathy. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done and I sadly have cheated. Really wish I wouldn't have because it just felt like starting all over again. try to look past the time you have to do it to the bigger journey post surgery if you can.

Hang in there.

NDN RN, yes the pre-op diet is difficult but you can and will do it! Before you know it it will be over and you will be headed to the operating room. I am 13 days post-op and I can tell you the pre-op diet really does prepare you for life after the operation...it is not easy afterwards but it is well worth it! Best of luck on your journey

Good luck with it and I feel for you. I am on day nine of ten of my liquid diet. I have done pretty well - not straying except today I took a bite of my daughter's apple as we were at an apple orchard and then I had a swig of Pickle Juice directly from the pickle jar this evening.

Hang in there NDN_RN! I'm on day 5 of 8 and I don't want to see another strawberry Protein Shake but I know this is the commitment and discipline I'll need to make my surgery a success. We can do it!!!!!!

You guys can do it! I had to do 14 days of liquid, and I will dry heave if I even smell a Protein Shake now! But boy was it so worth it, I was sleeved on June 18, 2012 and I'm already down 75 lbs, so keep it up cause you will be so proud of yourself!

Hang in there! I start mine on the 1st October. I'm really not looking forward to it but at least it means that I'll be closer to the surgery date.

Mine consists of 3 shakes a day and in between I can have veggies and salad. I'm just glad it's not shakes only

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
