Day 3 of Optifast
Hello, I'm on day three of my liquid diet and not feeling very well. I go to bed hungry, wake up hungry, and trying to drink as many shakes as they say to. I'm sure a lot of it is in my head, wich hurts right now. I cup of veggies twice a day is not enough, has anyone eaten while in the liquid diet stage? If so, what happened? I'll try and struggle through the best I can. Surgery is on the tenth.
My plan is like yours. You should begin to feel better in the next couple days, but I will say that the optifast will begin to taste worse and worse. I'm starting my 4th week of this, down almost 35 lbs. Just keep it up. Here are a couple ideas to help you out a bit...
1. chew sf gum when not eating
2. drink tons of water
