Before I started all this I obsessed about ready blogs, posts and videos about anything related to my surgery. I was very much focused on the Optifast part of it because that's what scared me the most. How the hell was I going to get through strarving myself for 28 days. I also read soooooo many negative things about the 2, 3 or 4 week Optifast diet that I was terrified. I am 475lbs and I didn't get to this weight by osmosis, I love food- I love to eat. HOw was I going to deal?
So- here's my update. I feel amazing. The shakes taste like S**T but I block my nose and get it down. I'm not crying over food, I'm not sick or overly tired (ok, some fatigue but I am carrying 475lbs for goodness sake!). I am enjoying my water and crystal light, I am getting to bed early and sleeping more soundly.. Heartburn is non- existant (and I had wicked acid reflux) and I am generally in a good mood :)
So, I am on Day 3 and who knows..it could all change tomorrow but for now...I am feeling good and excited about all of it. I will still continue to read blogs and posts and watch video updates about others but I have learn that I can not react to everything I see or hear or read...I need to watch and see how I am going to cope- and not freak out beforehand! LOL
You look nice and slim! Keep up the good work
Hum, for some reason the picture doesn't show. You can see it here.
Hey guys,
I haven't been around much but I come back from time to time to see what's going on.
I'd long resisted the lure of the "both legs in one pant leg" cliché pic but in the end I was too weak! So here you go. These are the capris I was wearing two summer ago, just a few months before the surgery that, yes, here comes another cliché, the surgery that changed my lifeé
(I think a good dressmaker might be able to get me two pretty skirts out of these...)
Cheers,
Monica
I have about 7 packs, mix of vanilla and chocolate. can PM me address to mail to, i would need some money for shipping though as i'm dead broke this month. lol
I have a friend that is looking for Optifast...anyone selling their leftovers?
I lost 17 on optifast... but I was quite strict not to stray except maybe a couple of bites during the second week.
my 46 pounds includes, 10 before pre-op diet, 16 during pre-op diet, and 20 after surgery. (so you are doing better than me i think! esp since i started higher). Feeling like the WL slowing down a lot since i started pureed and whole foods. bit discouraged after having lost just 6 pounds in 2 weeks of pureed foods. not sure why less, calories arent that different. oh well, gotta keep it up anyway.
glad to hear you are doing better and your stomach is behaving!
