Pre-op diet

I have started my pre-op diet last Monday in preparation for my surgery on May 27.

In 6 days, I lost 18 pounds.

My question, is it normal that I am not hungry to drink my last shake. I am able to drink 3 shakes and eat low carb vegetables, but I am just not hungry to think about getting another one.

Was it the same for you.

Welcome to the board!

OMG 18 lbs in 6 days!!! I have lost 15 in 15 days with the diet!! You are doing great! Congrats...
In the first week, I was able to drink only three, but the second week, I was able to drink the fourth one. I asked Martine about it and she told me that I should try to drink 4 because it is important in preparation for the surgery to have all the nutrition necessary to heal well... She told me that since I had only 2 weeks to do it was not so bad, but since you seem to have 4 weeks, I think you should try to drink 4... Maybe half in the afternoon and half in the evening??

Good luck!

WOW 18 pounds that great. I'm on Optifast too since last Monday and lost 8 lbs. Same here I can only drink 3 a day. There was even a couple days I only drank 2 :(

I agree with Diane we have to try and get the 4th one in for the nutrients.

I will have to try to and force myself to have another after "super".

Cindy,

Our surgery is 2 days apart. We might see each other in the hospital.

Hope that we will both be as successfull.
