Anyone have or getting the jitters yet?
Right now, not too much, but I'm sure this time next week will be a different story. Right now I'm looking forward to the 1st week post op thin liquid. At least then I'll be off this optifast and have some broth and real protein shakes. I know it will be a huge improvement over the optifast.

No jitters for me yet. I don't think it acutally feels real yet. I have been going through all of the hoops for insurance for so many months, I think I have become numb to the excitement/anxiety. I have 2 weeks and 1 day before surgery (Nov 12th) and I am sure once I get to a couple of days before surgery, the panic will set in!
I just started my pre-op diet yesterday. I am all of a sudden feeling panicked.... like I am going to fail. :( I have been ready for months while fighting with my insurance, but now that panic i****ting me. My surgery date is Nov 6th.

Day 2 of Optifast. I didn't realize how much caffeine played a roll in my life. I don't know how to wake up with out it. My stomach doesn't like cold in it first thing in the morning. Feeling pain in stomach today. I'm sure it will pass as the days go by. Is anyone having the surgery in Toronto? Can you cook your veggies, and can you have broths? Having trouble getting a hold of dietitian.
I am! My surgery is scheduled for November 3rd. I wish I could be thankful for this God awful liver shrinking diet because at least I can eat something but I am so worried about the next few months and how I'm going to be able to do this. I almost feel like I'm getting anorexic because I don't even want to eat any more of this crap!
