Really struggling with sticking to the Optifast

Thanks so much everyone. Today I'm feeling a gazillion times better. It's amazing what a change a day can make lol. Holy mood swings Batman lol.

Anyway, all of you that commented, I really appreciate your words of encouragement and no BS attitudes!! I'm recommitted to myself today and feel good. The damage isn't that bad - I gained back 2lbs of the 10lbs I had already lost, so I'm considering that my one time blunder and moving on.

RE: Dr. Starr - I especially love his assisstant, Tracey. She cracks me up. And she really gives the impression that she cares about the patients. AND she's done Optifast before, for her own weight loss reasons. But she LIKED It lol.

Have a great week everybody!! I have a special friend visiting this coming weekend so I'm using that as a short term motivator this week - I want to have a clean conscience so that I can fully enjoy my friend's visit!!

Hi Andrea...

I was going through the posts and looking for those with surgery dates so I can update the list. I think I got all of the information but if there is anything that needs to be updated please post in the thread or feel free to PM me.

I might be late, but i hope this can help.

I can relate to you so much!!!! its my second go at Optifast. I did it in 2021 for my sleeve and now for my DS. Its harder now than before. On top of that i have a husband who cant cook, so i am doing the cooking for him, yeah real food cooking!

Yesterday was a bad day i could not get more than 2, drank lots of water with plenty of water enhancers in it to divert me from serving myself a small portion of food. I was crying and napping everytime i felt hungry.

Its not the way to go. We need to stay strong, its temporary. i have to add more water to mine, i don't like it thick. Today my goal is to get 3 in instead of 2. First one done! second one due at noon. on hand, plenty of water with water enhancer - iced tea.

Dont give up! i am struggling too, lets do this. Thinking am not alone will help me.

Thank you for sharing your struggle. Lets keep an eye on the prize... a new us, a new life.

Izzy.
