Feeling drained

On day 4 of optifast and feeling exhausted and cranky and just not myself.... anyone else experience this?

I haven't had too difficult a time on the Opti and the energy level has actually been a bit better but I have had my cranky moments...when I have to clean up supper leftovers from the family. I just really have been trying not to dwell on the no food thing. 

I have been using various flavourings (rum, almond, banana, coconut, maple) in the shakes and using a Magic Bullet to mix them with ice which certainly offers some variety. 

I have heard others say the first few days are the worst so just hang in there and it will get better. I'm just finishing day 17 and if I can do it anybody can! ☺️ Hang in there!

I use the bullet to mix them to and add extracts.. didnt like the maple to much. I couldn't imagine 17 days... today is my 5th.

I just feel tired and cranky and rediculously nauseous. 

I'm on day 6, and still cranky but the headaches are gone.  I feel fine during the day because I am busy at work but when I got home in the evenings and see the rest of my family eating dinner it makes it hard.  I have dropped a few pounds already so that makes it a bit easier.  I just have my eye on the prize which is surgery!

Yes very difficult... my hubby asks what I want for supper.  and I hate grocery shopping for him.

But still cranky and headaches daily. Tummy troubles too.

It is definitely tough!  I'm on day 5 and there have definitely been moments of frustration and moodiness.  The headaches subsided after the 4th day.

Lunchtime in the office is torture.  Can't wait to see how I get through the weekend.  I have until Feb 1st and counting days and minutes.  Hang in there.  Keep you focus. 

I am on my 9th day of Opti - 5 more to go!!

The first shake was awful- I made it with ice and first thing in the morning my stomach did not appreciate that at all and I felt a bit nauseous. This was the last time I felt that way. 

No headaches, no stomachaches, no nausea - just constipation! Anyone know if we are allowed to take ex-lax or resorolax?

Surgery on Thursday - my biggest fear is getting sick with a flu or something that will affect surgery.
