DAY 8 OF OPTIFAST AND SURVIVING

It is so helpful to see everyone's comments! I just stared Optifast yesterday, and I have to be on it for 3 weeks. I know I can and will do it, no matter how challenging. My surgery is scheduled for June 9. I'm definitely gonna pick up some of the crystal light flavorings....so far I'm alternating between chocolate and vanilla and it's kept it a bit easier. I don't enjoy the taste at all, and actually gag a bit each time I drink it, but that is miniscule in comparison to the years of feeling gross at this weight. I'm very grateful to know that not one of us is in this alone. We all have family and friends to support us, but it's extremely comforting to have support from those who have been on the same journey. Go Team!

Good thing you held off. Small children are definitely not allowed during Optifast.

Too sweet.

You might have had to delay your surgery. Smart thinking!
