Am on day 4 of my Opti Fast liquid diet. It is not easy, but I am thrilled to say I have lost 15 pounds since Thursday! I hope this means I will be a quick loser after VSG also. I am down 21 since the 5th. How is everyone else doing? My surgery is November 8th.

I am on day 5 of a clear liquid diet. I have lost 7 lbs! I hope we are both fast losers.... although I will be happy just to lose this weight steady over time. My surgery is Oct 17th.. 3 days to go!

Good luck..

Sorry - not a pre-op dieter - but just wanted to hop in and say best of luck to you! Hope you have a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

My pre op diet was also Optifast. I know its hard to stick to it sometimes - but dont give up on it - it does wonders! LOL

Hi All, Started my liquid diet today, drinking Optifast and broth and teas in between. I had tried Opifast before as one of my weight loss options, lost alot but gained back over time once you start eating real food again. Getting sleeved October 25th. I am so nervous and anxious balled up into one. I wish everyone luck!!!

Okay, so the end of day 5 and went to my workshop today. I have officially lost 20 pounds in five days and I am down 27 from my highest! I have been taken off 1 of my 2 diabetes meds. This is such a huge deal, I'm so excited! Can't wait to reach more goals!!

I am on day 2 of my liquid diet, my surgery date is Nov 8th as well but will be arriving in Mexico Nov 7th

That is great that you are down a nice bit and off of medication!!! WTG!!!

Thanks! Good luck to you! It's almost our time!!

I started my liquid pre-op diet on Monday morning. I've dropped 7 lbs in 2 days! I have followed the diet as directed and I'm getting in all of my protein and clear fluids... But, I am feeling somewhat weak and shaky, especially in the morning time. Yesterday, it subsided once I had a protein shake and some sugar free jello. It is the same today. Just curious, does anyone else experience weakness and shakiness while on the pre-op liquid diet?

That's awesome! I do get shaky sometimes. It will get better. I am on day 6 and I have dropped 23 pounds.

That's awesome! Way to go.
