I am on day 4 of optifast and I've cheated everyday! I don't know what to do, please help!! How do I make it through without cheating? I've been having sugar free jello, broth, and decaf tea. What's my problem?
Don't be so hard on yourself, I know from experience the liquid diet is NOT easy. The first few days are the hardest. Trust me, I was someone who could eat you out of house and home. Just hang in there and keep trying. We are all here for you!
I did horribly on the liquid pre-op diet. I actually gained weight between my first appt and the surgery. And it's been really hard to get it all off.
Hang in there, and just take it one day at a time.
This too shall pass!!
Good luck.

Thank you guys! this is day 7 and its the first time I didn't munch on something. I was told today that I can have farina since my iron is low, but no more cheating. I am going to try my best, I do not want any problems or for my Dr. to close me back up unbanded!
