Optifast 800 shake is 160 cal, 14 protein, 20 carb. They are what my dudgeon requires us to use pre-op. Post op we can have any protein powder or shake that has at least 1 g protein for every 10 cals. I like the EAS carb advantage chocolate fudge so may go with those

It does feel good to lose it! My surgery is next week Thur, when are your surgeries scheduled?

They weighed me 1 week before I actually started my diet & I had not eaten so weighed 2lbs less. So when they weighed me Thur after one week on pre op diet they show 5lb loss & it really is a 7lb loss, that is a pound a day.

My 19 yr old daughter & hubby had this surgery in May 2011. My daughter has lost around 110-115 pounds & hubby 85-90 pounds so that is about 1 lb per day.   

I can only eat these prepackaged high protein meals, bars, snacks, & SF Jello. Sick of the food, bars are tasting too sweet (can't believe I said too sweet) & not big on the snacks either. The SF jello is the only thing I like. I don't even want to eat when I'm hungry. I actaully have to force myself to eat them, can't wait to have the surgery so can actually have the protein shakes, they sound really yummy right now. Good luck and keep us posted. I went to store & was craving lean meat, veggies, & fruit. Never been a big snacker. I actually like healthy food, but am a huge over eater. If only my stomache had a little window in it that could show you when it was full like our gas tanks do. :) Good luck ladies. Keep in touch.
I can do it, I can do it, chugga, chugga, chugga said the little train! Thank you Lord for giving me the strength!
