Is it ok to take appetite suppressants while on the pre-op diet???

Am i the only nervous person

Definitely Not, liquid Diet starts today...

You guys can do it! I'm on day 6 today. I know it sounds hard to believe, I snickered when I read other people say this, but after day 1 it really does get easier. I am allowed 3-5 protein shakes a day, that's it. I was nervous about that and wondered how in the world I would do that! But you have to think of the end result! It's all mental! Put your mind to it and you can do it!

Yup I start my liquid diet today... Excited knowing i can do it!!! It's definitely a mental challenge. I've done a protein shake diet on my own a little while ago. And was easy especially seeing the weight come off so quickly. I ended losing 60lbs in 4 months but knowing that mu surgeon may say no on surgery date if I don't lose 10lbs is motivation enough to say I will do it. I'm even giving myself a challenge to surpass her expectations and lose 20lbs so now I know I can and will do it!!!

Day one of Pre-op diet begun.....

Here we go!!

I start my liquid diet today too. I have had the same fears as you! But someone here said to me that my attitude on how I approach this pre op diet had a lot to do with how I did this week. So my mind set changed. I now see this as a challenge to prep me for what is coming post op. Dont think of everything you can't have... think of your goal (which is to loose all the excess weight). It's definitely going to be hard and a test. But we can do this!!! Good luck!

Day 1 for me too on a 7 day stint. I have my surgery June 3!!

I'm with you! Today is day 2 of my 10 day Pre-op liquid diet (my surgery is scheduled for June 5th). Cooking dinner tonight for my family was the first time I felt really challenged - though I was kinda tired and somewhat hungry before that even but I'm hoping tomorrow will be easier. Hang in there everyone - we can do this! Just think about where we're headed

I'm 8 days into my pre-op diet, and it can be a challenge, mentally. All the positivity on this post is infectious, though! We can do this!

Today is my first day of my pre-op diet it's hard!! I hope it will get easier after days 3 or 4 !!

Tomorrow is my day 2 on preop diet Surgery is June 5th I'm beyond the moon excited but today wasn't hard until low laying in bed thinking of what everyone else ate. Praying tomorrow will go by just as fast as today.

Remember the end result !! Determined

All the comments and advice are so encouraging all of you keep me motivated and focused on the goal !

Good luck everyone

Okay so I made it through today but wow!! I have a really sick headache and feel awful. Any suggestions or comments if I am doing something wrong to feel this crappy??

I just completed day 6 of my pre op optifast diet and now i have 7 more days left...... The diet isnt as bad as i intended it to be. I have put myself into all kinds of situations that involved going out to restaurants to the movies and a cookout...... And the strange thing is that not being able to eat food right now isnt bothering me at all..... I have this diet 100 percent and nothing is going to get in my way

Yes today was kinda bad for me too. But lets stay positive. Keep you eye on the prize!!! As for doing anything wrong. I don't think we are. I just think that our bodies are not use to this. But I've read here that it gets easier after the 3rd day. Looking foward to that!

I start tomorrow, I'm nervous.
