My first Optifast

Hello to you and congratulations you've made it this far.  Opti-fast was definately not my favorite part of this wonderful experience but you sound like you will do just fine....cheers to you and a new found health...all the best

Opti-pro here! It will get magically delicious!!!! I did full Opti diet 2x years before having to do it for surgery. 1 cup of water + 4 ice cubes in a blender did the trick. I just had chocolate, no other additives. Tried w/ coffee once.

Hi Jenn. You can do this!!! My surgery date is Jan 25th, so started Opti yesterday. I must be one of the very few who actually like it. In my years of dieting, I have had worse protein powders!!!!!. Lol. The pain will be worth the gain....or loss. :)Take care!

You're lucky you like it! 

Where are you having surgery? 

At Humber River with Dr. Hagen. You will be at TWH,  correct?

HI jenn. 

It's Simon 

we have over the last little while have followed each other and now we are both just days away from surgery.  

Jan 25 and Jan 26 are big days for us. 

Im rather getting excited for this to start. Are you happy that your day is close at hand. 

Jenn how are you doing with your opti fast. I'm on day 4 and to my surprise I'm down 11 lbs 

really to be honest really hate it. I was hungry the first 2 days but after that  it's been better. 

Hope all goes great for you as I know you will do really really well. You have been so dedicated to your program that I  cant see you doing anything but spectacular  

best of luck my friend

Hi Simon! 

I'm glad to hear you're doing well! Yay for 11 lbs lost! I try not to focus too much on the scale, but it definitely feels good to lose. I'm sure your surgery will be super successful and you'll zoom right through.

Optifast is definitely not my favourite, but I've found ways to cover up it's disgusting taste. Just like you, the first two days was the worst. I was hungry, very tired, and had a headache. I feel fine now, and am down 13.6 lbs! I don't even know how I lost that much since Tuesday, it's pretty crazy. I'm excited for surgery, but also nervous. I'm a baby when it comes to pain and am scared of complications. 

Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be great!
