I didn't have one either. I just had to lose between 15 - 30lbs. I've lost 22lbs (should be 25 by next Wednesday which is surgery day). I am planning on going all liquids for the 3 days prior at my own choice to clear my colon.

I have a 10 day low fat, low sugar full liquid diet before my surgery. The day just before surgery is clear liquids only.

I'm on day 3 (end of day 3) of the preop and I'm starving. I have never gone this long without food. I have 4 protein shakes daily and 1 protein bar. And drinking a ton of water, crystal lite, broth etc. I'm thinking about calling the office tomorrow and asking if there's anything else I can have maybe some lean chicken or anything. Can I fail the preop diet??? I am kinda joking but I still have the whole weekend and Monday to go. I'm so hungry it physically hurts [emoji53]

WOW!! Everyone is different. I'm 3 years out and I had to do 2 weeks preop of protein drinks and then 4 weeks postop of protein drinks.

Mine starts on November 27. Here it is:

5 premier protein shakes a day and unlimited broth, popsicles, jello all sugar free. 8 cups water and sugarfree drinks no carbonated drinks! only 2 cups of coffee a day no more caffeine..... that's it I am on day 10 of liquid diet. surgery on Nov 23rd.

I am on day 4 and couldn't handle it, I have a sore throats and got no sleep last night. I had a cup of warm cream of chicken Soup. I hope that isn't major cheating but I felt like I was going to pass out on the Optifast alone. I tried calling my NUT but she was busy and hasn't called me back. Is this a major fail? Has this happened to anyone else on shakes or optifast only 4 days in? ☹️
