I was on Optifast for 6 weeks. It did not give me diarrhea. There were at least two people in my nutrition class that could not do Optifast. The nut gave them a different diet. I"m not sure what it was. Call you nutritionist and let her know that it is making you sick. See if she can give you another diet to follow.

Well, I've been on liquid diet since the 10th of June. I had some diarrhea but I mostly pee all day. I though I had lost 22lbs Think my digital scale was messed up. But I got a regular scale and it was on about 7lbs. Oh what a disappointment. But I stayed on the right path.

Yesterday my hands had swollen up. I think it came from all the broth I had been drinking. So on Sunday I will be on clear liquid. Very little broth for me for the rest of my days.

I lost inches, but no real weight. I've been drinking water 64-100 oz a day. My tummy has gone down some. So I'm thinking that my liver is shrinking.

I will know on Thursday.

Hi all -

I am scheduled 6/28 @ Baptist Health in Little Rock, AR.

Liquids started on the 14th.... It hasn't been that bad... the key is knowing head hunger passes, and real hunger can be satiated by water or any of the approved items!

Oh and for all my Pre-Op Liquidation go-ers....

Liquid in Liquid out.... Get some baby sipes so you don't get rashes.

I am living on greek yogurt, muscle milk light, and sf jello cups.

G'luck all!

Greek yogurt has been my savior in this whole thing. For after with no sugar, I have the plain (Fage is my favorite brand) with the sugar free daVinci syrups. Very tasty...

Hi everyone! I'm having surgery on the 29th and I'm hating my liquid diet. I've been on it since the 14th and I don't think I've lost squat. I haven't really cheated, but I notice that when I'm fixing my husband and kids dinner I "taste test" their food and when I "come to" I spit it in the dogs bowl LOL It has been VERY difficult to follow this liquid diet and today I finally broke down. I cried because I wanted some REAL FOOD. Even scrambled eggs would be wonderful right now!! I'm definitely looking for surgery buddies to keep in touch with. I'm a bundle of nerves; mostly dreading the anesthesia because every time I've had surgery before I wake up in a panic, bawling my eyes out, confused... BLAH! Looking forward to making some new friends!!
