I am scheduled for surgery Oct. 8 and am on a 2 week optifast diet. Today is only my 4th day and I am so hungry I could eat shoe leather ! I have managed to not to cheat so far!! The good news is I have already lost 4 lbs!! I just keep hoping that post-op will be easier because maybe I won't feel so hungry all the time? Is that true ?

I'm on the same boat, I'm 3 weeks in and have cheated multiple times my prep is 6 weeks long long it is so not worth it keep going I wish I never cheated I would have lost so much more, two weeks is nothing I still got three weeks left! Whenever you get hungry just distract yourself, you can do this your going to be healthy and fit and have the body you've always wanted, don't let food control you like I did own you emotions and keep pushing through imagine in a week and a bit you'll be on your way to your new beginning!!!!

I know I might be getting personal here, but are you really having a procedure. What man, or woman who is 6 feet has a goal of 100lbs and what is QLD. Why at 167lbs and a bmi of 22 would you even be having any type of weight loss surgery. are these just entry mistakes, or why would you be on here. I apologize if I have offended you in any way, but this sounds awful fishy to me, anybody else.

I'm hoping the input information is incorrect. 6"@167lb is thin already. And doesn't meet the criterium for sugary unless there is a horrible case of diabetes. But one would think if that was the issue another direction would be incouraged.

That post above was not meant for the person that started this post it was meant for the gentleman that answered, and as you can see he says he is 167lbs preop and 6 feet, seems very strange

Lol sorry I'm from Australia and we use kgs here I just assumed it would be in kgs.

Queens Land qld is a state in Australia!

Amber, You are not alone. My surgery is October 15 and have Been on a liquid diet for one week. I haven't lost but 2 pounds but I feel as if I am hungry all the time. Gets worst just before bed. I'm gonna just stick to it and hope everything works out. This pre-op is the WORST, but as I understand it is well worth it in the end. My surgeon did remind me that the purpose of the liquid protein diet is to shrink the liver, thus making surgery easier. Right now I don't know what to think. I'm just ready for the next week to go by!

You must keep yourself busy and not around food. You must eat a lot of sugar free popsicle

Unbelievable

I have been 4 weeks after sugar I've lost 26 lbs but exercise program is terrible I need to have knee surgery
