Oh dear you guys I am feeling so disappointed in myself already!
First day of my pre-op diet today, and i went all good while I was at work but then I got home and I was starving and I just ate so much crap which I shouldn't have at all. Like canned tuna and cheese haha so random but it was just the first thing I could get my hands on that was instant food. Ugh feel quite disgusted in myself actually. The mental side of this is going to be such a struggle for me even after the surgery...I mean even though I know I am doing this for my health etc I still couldn't stop myself eating those things. Its like the hungry beast takes over and I lose control. So lame :/

I thought I had replied to you before, but I didn't see it. I am scheduled for the same day. I started my pre-op diet too. I've practiced it before, just so that I would know what to expect.... but starting the actual pre-op diet has been crazy. All of a sudden, I am craving foods because I know that I won't be able to eat them again. It truly messes with your head.
If you need someone to chat with, message me.

yes I am allowed 3-4 x optifast products and 2 cups of vegetables from an approved list.
I probably went wrong as I only had 2 optifast products and some homemade vege broth so by the time I got home at dinner time I was starving and ate stupid things while I was cooking dinner.
Have had my big plate of veges now, and I'm feeling satisfied again. Tomorrow will be a better day I am sure!
Thanks for the suggestion, I might try that tomorrow veges for lunch and soup for dinner instead maybe [emoji4]

I think you are lucky here. I am not allowed food. Strictly protein shakes. They did say sugar free popsicles and jell-o, but I can't have either because that type of stuff gives me indigestion.

My surgery is scheduled for July 6th with Dr. Illan in Tijuana MX. ??✨

Surgery scheduled for July 7th in Mexico!! My husband and I both are getting it done together.

If you have to use a fork or knife to eat it, probably don't.

If it's liquid, probably go for it.

Hope this helps

ps - Did they give you a nutritionist?

I'm super excited! I received the approval call on Monday June 19th and my surgery date is scheduled for July 11th. I'm excited but a little nervous all at the same time!!!

Hi all. Booked in for July 11th and am on the optifast meal replacement diet.

I am sooooo hungry and needs some ideas for the low carb veggies.

I have made soup, curry and stir fry. Any other ideas?
