That is a strict pre-op. My pre-op was much longer though, 3 wks. Mine was 5 Protein Shakes with Water (or 4 with milk), a cup of broth in between. I wish I had the 4 oz Protein though hehe but still, hang in there, 6 more days. :) I feel ya though, and I'm sure there are several here that feel the same.

See if you can add a shake. Call your surgeon and check with them.

My husband went from 320 to 217. He is 6'2". He existed on lots of broth, the shakes, and one protein/veg meal pre surgery. Some of these pre op diets are horrendous for a person your size. Please talk to your surgeon! It is worth it in the long run I promise.

Just remember that it isn't forever. You only need to make it through these 10 days, and post surgery you aren't going to feel hunger in nearly the same way.

Twice in my husband's life he did Optifast two separate years and lost 100 lbs. each year. The pre op shakes is nothing in comparison, so just wait for the prize. It is not easy but we all struggled pre op, and post op. It is so worth it.

My pre-op diet was two weeks and it was 100% liquids, no solids no meat nothing...and I took great pride in making it through that entire program without cheating once. It put me in just the right mental place to handle life after surgery. This prep isn't just for a good, smooth surgery and recovery...it's for your mind, too. It's a commitment that you're making to change. Embrace it! There's a time limit on it, and then after surgery you will not care anymore.

Hi guys, my surgery is scheduled for 2nd November and I'm currently on a 2 week pre op diet and I'm also finding it really difficult! I'm allowed 4 pints of semi skimmed milk per day, but I can substitute one pint of milk with one slim fast shake. I'm on day 3 and I'm so hungry! Plus (sorry if tmi) every time I drink my milk I urgently need the bathroom So my body feels completely empty! 11 days to go, and I'm going to stay strong and get it done, especially after reading PorkChopExpress post. Encouraging :)

Thanks, Porkchop. That actually helps me a lot.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
