hi my name is annik i am new on this site  im on the optfast for 2 week and surgery is around the corner and im having a very hard  life still continues around me i still have to feed my family will im starving on optifast does anyone have tips how to survive this

Definitely contact your surgeons office tomorrow. Sometimes individuals are allowed pudding jello broth and veggies. Find out so you will know explain to them how you are feeling. I wish you the best

I really struggled w/ my 10 day pre-op liquid diet also.  I just kept my eye on the prize and made it without falter.  It was very difficult, especially sitting down w/ the family while they ate a great dinner that I cooked for them.  Can you at least eat jello?  I usually had jello and broth so I felt like I was also sort of eating while the family did.  Check w/ your surgeon's office to see if that might be an option for you.

Good luck...you CAN do this!

chewing sugar free gum when I was hungry really helped me

Drink lots of water?  Can you have broth?

Keep the faith.  I'm on my 9th day of a 15 day liquid diet.  I never thought I'd come to hate shakes.  It is really hard the first couple days and than you kind of get numb.  I was making Mac & cheese for the grandson one day and found I had some in my mouth taste testing.  I spit it out.

Keep tough you CAN do it.
