Hey Gina I'm on day one and I only get 3 Optifast shakes a day and 1.5L water that is all

I don't know how we will do it but we will. Good luck to you. Which surgery are you having?



I just started my pre-op diet. Today is my second day... I have 2 protein shakes a day, two snacks, which can be sugar free jello, pudding, or 1/2cup of fat free yogurt or cottage cheese, and ONE cup of broth based soup

Hang in there guys! It'll be in your rear-view mirror before you know it.


I think you just get use to it. I am on 16th day of liquids 3 Protein shakes a day tomorrow is Clear Liquids and Friday is my surgery. If I had to be truthful I am tired but not anymore than the guy inside of me that carried around 84 more pounds from when I started this Adventure. Keep the Faith Don't Cheat because you are only cheating yourself and risking your Health.

I am now on day three of the skimpy (lol) preop diet and have already lost 6.8 lbs
