Ah si si si...I too had to do OptiFast, except my surgeon's nurse couldn' t read a calendar and scheduled me for my pre-op ONE week before surgery instead of TWO so I got out of a week, and since I don't have as much to lose they were ok with that. My program allowed me to have SF jello, SF pudding, and raw veggies so I regained my love for baby carrot stix and cucumbers with salt and pepper. Otherwise, for me it was just the first few days that were the hardest practically detoxing. Good luck, you can do it!

All I can tell you is that you have to use your willpower more now than ever before; because AFTER you won't be able to eat but now you are able to but cannot. I am day 10 of 14 and it is not easy, but I keep telling myself that nothing tastes as good as thin feels....I have lost 10 pounds already. Keep away from others that are eating, don'****ch TV (too many food commercials), find a hobby, nap, walk and before you know it you feel better, you don't feel as hungry, and you begin to realize that you are going to make it!

Hi I had to do the 2 week as well. I used really cold water. I wasn't too impressed with the vanilla, so I tried to add really cold "timmies" coffee and it was great. It tasted like a Timmies iced capp. The first couple of days were hard, but after that, I did not feel hungry at all. If I felt deprived, I would have diet jello. I also had a great night the night before. I had some of my favorite food and too much rye. Hung over next day, but it was worth it. I am now 16 days out, RNY WLS. Best of Luck, and hang in there!! You can do it!!! Di
