 hey,what flavor optifast do u have?i was told it nesds to be with optifast as it will shrink ur liver and thats the goal to make surgery easier,not sure if doing it other ways will shrink the liver like optifast dose.
u can try different things with the optifast like very cold with ice,or flavor it with chockate powder or coffee or sugar free syrop.
just think about whats comming and how close you are

Topic: Help!!!
My surgery is in 11 days and I have lost 5 pounds so far.
I've been doing the optifast for about 6 days....the thing is, it makes me gag!
I can't take the shake, its horrible. Can I lose the weight differently??
Does it really matter how the weight comes off.

 They had asked me at the time if i wanted Rockland clinic or hospital.
I had told them which ever came faster.  They called me to tell me they had place at the clinic so it has no overnight stay.
That is really the only reason why i am panicked.  I have faith
In our doctor. The only thing is i have yet to hear from someone
Who went home the same day.

 Hello again... How come you r going home same day?? They kept me in hospital for 3 nights . Usually it is 2 nights but I had a band removal and my surgery was supposedly very difficult because of that.  I am not an expert on this but having has the surgery, I strongly recommend that you ask to stay at least one night- at the minimum... Let me know if you need anything else or if you have any questions
   Let the journey begin...

Hi there,

Congratulations on your sleeve...wow you must feel sooooo relieved.
I somehow feel like I am on the edge of my seat, just waiting!
I am getting the sleeve as well.  I don't doubt Dr. Denis, I know he is amazing.
My only concern is going home right after I wake up from recovery. I think I could have used the overnight hospital stay.  Anyhow, I have to make it work this way.  Its coming up!

You keep up the good work and rock that sleeve....keep us posted on your progress!

OMG, it's totally normal!! 100%!!!
I feel the same way, but the results out weigh the mouring.. so it's all worth it in the end! :) :) 
I would try to get more water in... sip sip sip... I know a lot of people say warm water goes down easier, my sleeve (much like me) loves cold! With ice cubes and all! 
I would try a whey protein over ensure.. more protein and less calories... just my suggestion. Lean Fit from Costco fits the bill! They have chocolate and vanilla...
Keep rockin' it!
