My plan is like yours. You should begin to feel better in the next couple days, but I will say that the optifast will begin to taste worse and worse. I'm starting my 4th week of this, down almost 35 lbs. Just keep it up. Here are a couple ideas to help you out a bit...
1. chew sf gum when not eating
2. drink tons of water

Hello, my surgery is on the tenth also. Where are you having it? I'm going to Toronto.
Hello, I'm on day three of my liquid diet and not feeling very well. I go to bed hungry, wake up hungry, and trying to drink as many shakes as they say to. I'm sure a lot of it is in my head, wich hurts right now. I cup of veggies twice a day is not enough, has anyone eaten while in the liquid diet stage? If so, what happened? I'll try and struggle through the best I can. Surgery is on the tenth.
to your victory/success. A true failure is only when you give up. Failure is meant to be a learning experience so that you can succeed. So the only true failure is when you give up, because you won't succeed if you don't try.

I am starting to get nervous. But I think I'm only worried about the liver shrinking enough. I am scheduled for November 10th and can't wait. My new life begins!
I am getting the sleeve on November 3rd. I am already sick of the Premier Protein shakes and I've only been on them for 9 days! I think I'm starting to panic a little!
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!
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.

If she were against it, I would imagine she would have said something before now. I think she is just concerned for your safety since the sleeve is a major surgery. I would just re assure her things will be okay and keep moving.

I'm having RNY on Nov. 25th! I wish I was getting excited already, but so far I'm totally unaffected by it.
