Day 1 on the Pre Op Diet!

[MaddyMae 2]

My surgery is 8/6. It's getting close with just under 2 weeks to go. In the beginning of July, my surgeon puts all patients on the Optifast diet. Essentially it is 5 supplements a day and one very sensible meal. We have weight goals that were set and we need to meet each week. Initially it was very difficult to not snack or eat the good foods; but now it is a breeze. I actually made surgery goal weight yesterday (a week early).

You can do this. You are taking control of your life; and for that, you should be very proud of yourself. Stay focused!

Nice! Just one day after mine! Your diet is similar to mine too except I need 4 shakes a day and the one meal. Id be terrified with weight goals. Definitely adds the pressure but its good they want you to stay on track. Congrats on making weight!

Today's day three of this diet and its getting harder. I find myself very hungry after work, especially at night. I've been sleeping early to avoid eating... not the greatest thing but I guess I'm more energized when i wake up.

Thanks for the support! I've been feeling a bit down lately and just afraid of failing. Gotta stay positive and focused!
