Optifast

Hi, I am on Day 12 of 21 for Optifast. I have lost 13 pounds so far.  I have not cheated nor do I plan to, for that I am extremely happy for what I have accomplished. However today, I am feeling so hungry, and a little *****y and upset. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this. Also I guess the anticipation of surgery is getting to me, I just want to get it done. We all have to wait so long and when its finally here so many emotions come forward. Thanks for reading 

Oh yeah, it's normal! Just hang in there and try to do something to distract yourself from the hunger. Try doing something nice for yourself like a long hot shower, your favourite movie, etc to help combat the *****iness :) Keep up the good work, you'll be in surgery before you know it!

I am also experiencing this feeling of being upset, kind of down and for me: weepy.  Just had my patts appointment on Friday so I think the thought of my surgery being on Feb. 3rd is starting to feel so real now and the nerves are hitting bigtime.

I don't feel too hungry, I'm on day 6 of 14, just sick and tired of drinking cold shakes.  I think I might have to drink more black tea and broths.   We have come such a long way and it's not too far off now, so we have to keep our heads up and our hearts in the game.  :)

Take care, we can do it!!!

So proud of you....your doing great! Just a little longer.

Keep up the good work.
