I start pre-op diet November 4th. 14 days of 6 Optifast Protein shakes a day and then 1 day of clear liquids! This weekend I went out and tried to prep for surgery by buying a lot of what I think I'll need. I bought some of those blender bottles for Protein mixing, 2 oz food containers, and some baby silverware to start off I am so excited for us. November 19th will be here before we know it!!! Best wishes to you

Wow you sound like you have it under control! My diet is different, I'm to have 2 shakes a day and 1 bar with 1 fruit and 2 cups of veg!

I know I'm soo excited to, can't wait to feel a better for this summer! This time next year I will finally have my little denim shorts and I'm not giving up on that good luck to you also!!

I started my liquid pre-op diet today - and it sucks! the shakes are making me gag. 13 more days will be hell. I'd rather not eat a thing. How do people do nothing but shakes and Water for 14 days.

Suggestion: call your nutritionist and ask if anything else is allowed. I am in day three and tired of the shakes. I am not hungry, however. My nutritionist will allow steamed vegetables if I am very hungry but wants me to stick to the diet. I bought vegetable stock and bouillon to drink to change from something sweet to something savory, I am tired of drinking sweet stuff. I always find myself very thirsty on the liquid diet. I am drinking a lot of Water but still thirsty.

Week 2 im not really hungry forcing the shakes down( not bad tasting not the best either lol) im trying to get my Water in as well the sf drink mix help change it up. Im just not hungry. Anyone else the same way?

Hey Dinnh,

The first day is the worst... You will get use to it. Believe me I know where you are coming from, headaches and all, I didn't think I was going to make it past the first day but I did and I am on my fourth day...but I can have a fat free lunch(lean meat, fresh veggies). Just stay focused on the New Journey and how much this short term inconvenience is going to help you live Longer!!! Hang in there and keep your Eye on the Prize(a new You)
