So, I am supposed to start my pre-op diet today, but I can't stop eating! I am totally psyching myself out right now. Anyone else have trouble starting their diet? I feel like a smoker that is quitting cold-turkey. I never realized how strong my mental addiction to food is. Oye!

I would like to apologize for not being here to support everyone lately good luck to all the upcoming surgeries and congrats to everyone post op and on the losers bench with me yay we did it I need to ask anyone now how to deal with some stress and depression post op ? One week ago today our family was devastated by a loss my niece lost her six year old son I know some think of us as distant family but we are very close to her and her children and I'm having a hard time coping

Hi I've today and one more day of pre op diet and I've been lucky and have a food option and it's gone well although a little bored with it now. My surgery is on Monday so hope my liver has shrunk. Good luck to you all x

I started my liquid diet yesterday. I did pretty good. I kept busy, I changed my routine a lot so I don't get think about " iam suppose to eating right now".

I am struggling with my 800 liquid Optifast diet. I have to do it for a full month. I started Wednesday and am wondering how I will do this for another 3.5 weeks! I am having a really hard time today because it is the weekend. Working while on it was easier.

My doctor only puts us on a one week liquid diet before surgery... I'm kinda worried that's not enough time.!!

I am struggling with this liquid diet and I have three more weeks!!

Started supplementing shakes for meals last weeks so that it wouldn't be hard to transition..pre-op diet officially starts tomorrow. Pray for me..lol

I'm on liquid diet day 2. Hungry, grumpy, angry. Big work stress and my Mom is in the hospital with pneumonia. I want to eat so badly. Someone encourage me!

I am feeling the same way. I am 6 days into liquid optifast and going insane. I want a piece of grilled chicken or fish so badly. I did break down and hard boiled an egg and ate it. I figured 70 calories wasn't that bad. I will still be under 900 for the day. 3 weeks to go.
