Are you also on a liquid protein diet, like Optifast?

My doctor had us buy it from them, and at first I was like, really?? But now I am glad I did. His plan is really easy to follow and I was NOT hungry. I just missed chewing, so I made all protien shakes with ice in a bullet blender. Way yummy that way and a little more filling also I think. After 4-5 day I was fine with just liquids, but first few days all I thought about was food.  I noticed one thing its no wonder we are a fat nation, ever notice how many food commericals there are??? Just sayin'...

You are so right.  The time spent on this pre-op diet before surgery can be very sobering as to our addictions to food.  It is the perfect time to go with what the doctor suggests and then to face our struggles and to get help if necessary.

 Hello,  My doc allows me to put a little sugar free pudding into my shakes.  I pick out different flavors.  Maybe you could check with yours?  I hope that helps.  Michelle.

Wow, clears only for 10 days?? That is really strict. If you can do protein shakes, you can add sf jello pudding. There are tons of sf syrups like caramel, peppermint, etc.
