Hi I am in day 4 of my pre op diet. I am scheduled feb 10th for my gastric sleeve. I am wondering if there are some filling recipes anyone has found for the pre op. I'm starving!

On day 8 of 10 ...Surgery Monday. I can tell you for me at first it was so difficult, I had the worse headaches and wanted to cheat so bad. I was dying for a friggin burger or something. I'm now down 12 pounds, and feel much better. Good luck guys!!!!

Having a hard time not wanting to cheat tonight.

I know it's a state of mind.... I just need to sleep for the next 9 days lol

Only 9 more days Heather! Stay strong!!!

Oh gaw! You guys making me scared for my preop diet!!! Lol!!! Can you take a appetite suppressant during that time??

I don't think so. My dr said to stop all diet pills even natural ones.

I woke up this morning with the "headache" and he shakes on day 2. These optifast shakes are horrid I wish they would use the Premeir Shakes those are good. Now to fill up on liquids.

Water water water! And if you can, rest. I am in day three. This is the first day I didn't have a headache when I woke up. Yesterday I tried to walk around the block every time I felt hungry. My daughter loved it and it helped distract me and may be the reason I feel better today. I'm down 6lbs since Thursday.

In my head I'm Dory from Finding Nemo. "Just keep swimming...just keep swimming." Lol.

Sorry! I've convinced myself its not as bad as I'm making it out to be in my head. But being "hangry" makes everything seem 10 times worse than it is. Lol.

Yes being hungry is the Pitts.. Story of my life! Lol!! Best of luck to you guys!

I have 2 days to go--surgery on Monday. I have a plan......SLEEP as much as humanly possible, drink my Protein shakes and just hang in there. Tomorrow Clear liquids ONLY. No Protein drinks. I feel tired and dizzy and weak but I am not a quitter and I don't think any of you are either. I/WE can DO THIS!!! I am only hours away from being a healthier, skinnier me! I have just ordered my post op Vitamins and they should be here by the time I get home from the hospital. My church is praying for a quick recovery. I am good to go!!! WHOO HOO!!!

It is def harder with the hunger pains! After surgery we will get full quickly so it will be so much easier!

I am sooooo emotional!!! I'm watching my 600 lb life and crying! I hope that gets better.

Tell me about it!! I'm on 4 weeks of that stuff - 13 days to go! I didn't have a problem until a couple of days ago. I was gagging thinking about drinking another Optifast but I pushed through and they are now more tolerable. I heat the chocolate for a fairly decent cup of Hot Chocolate. Bought some flavoring; cherry, strawberry, coconut, banana, etc. and that helps tremendously. Chocolate and Strawberry Optifast in a blender with ice cubes = smoothies. Put cherry flavoring in chocolate - think chocolate covered cherries! :-)

After surgery I can use Usury, Premier, Yahoo, etc. Supposedly however, ..... Optifast is the best Meal Replacement formula to get all nutrients. I quit taking supplements when I started a Optifast.

Hang in there.
