Doing the optifast liquid diet: shakes and soups, can have SF jello & low fat yogurt. Man this is the hardest thing I've ever done but keeping busy seems to make things easier. How's everyone liquid diet going and how much have you lost?

Hi! My surgeon is also Dr. Zare. I am scheduled for Nov. 26 to be sleeved. How's the liquid diet? Is it super hard. Where can I purchase them? Let me know how the surgery goes and what your biggest obstacles are. Good luck!!

You are right, the pre-op diet is the hardest part! Once you get through this, it wont be as bad! Just keep on keeping on and do what you are supposed to be doing and keeping busy and the days will pass quickly and before you know it you will be post-op dieting. Keep up the good work!

Hi ya, the liquid diet isn't too bad. They ease you in the beginning first replacing Breakfast then lunch then full liquids with only healthy foods so I just ate salads. They'll give you the shakes so no need to purchase. You can have everything I listed earlier and they recommend just Water and Crystal Light so that's what I've been using. It's tough but I've been distracted myself with work, also I binged like crazy before starting so I guess I fulfilled my cravings and I'm now super focused. Also the Jello and yogurt has been a huge help.

All in all, tough but doable
