gross topic. I'm on week 2 of my preop optifast diet, and all of a sudden, now that my body has switched to fat burning mode, I have a lot of oral gas, and a very very noisy stomach which, when I can get anything to come out, is coming out literally liquid. I have started putting benefibre into my shakes/dinner which will hopefully help but this noise in my insides is insane! it even woke me up last night it was so loud. Has anyone else experienced this preop?

Your not alone I've been on Optifast 10 days same issues . I can give you one word of advice . Tmi never trust a fart lol lol

lol totally lesson learnt! I've been putting extra benefiber into my shakes and meals... well since last night at least, and it seems to have helped a little bit. still SO much gas though!

When is your surgery I thought it was at the end of nov?

Never mind I looked back in November thread 40 days pre op diet gee zzz. I was complaint about 17 days. Keep up the great job you can do this and so can I . I'm starting not minding opti flavour lol that's a shame lol

yep - 6 weeks preop diet. A bit harsh I would say, I think my surgeon expects me to cheat - shows what he knows . 1 month to go!
