Day 6

Hi all. Its day 6 of my preop prep. March 16th is coming fast! At first I was not impressed with the Optifast but learned how to dress it up and mas the taste a bit with flavouring extracts. (Vanilla Rum Almond banana and caramel) I actually found myself starting to like them a bit....just a bit. lol. I've lost 10lbs in the 6 days . I am a little constipated though. I haven't gone in 3 days and I'm an every day type of pattern. Am I allowed to have organic prune juice on this diet? 

That is not the pre-op I am on. I am now on day 12 of my 14 day pre-op. I do 5-6 Medifast/fasttrack products and then unlimited broth, sugarfee drinks, coffee, tea and sugarfee jello and popcycles. My doctor told me to get Colace and go ahead and start taking it now. So I started it the same time I started my pre-op. Granted I don't go like I use too, but then we are not eating like we use too!!! But I am still having some movements.

14 day pre-op!  Holy cow, mine was 2 days.

It makes me curious why some docs only do 2 days and others do much more.  Just to note, my doc is very experienced (5,000 surgeries) with a very low complication rate.

I know... 14 days does seem long but they want the liver to shrink so they can easy work in the area.  Oh well. a week left to go. 

Thank you for the advice ladies.
