Solids

I was just wondering when people where able to have soft food and then solid foods.

(last week of optifast!!)

Your centre should give you a menu for each week

I have been through the book.  It just says when you are comfortable with all your liquids - full fluids and not before a week.   

I know everyone is different but I was looking for people's experiences ...

Hello MammaBear,

thanx... I'm going stir crazy waiting for that call. 

Keep in touch... let me know how surgery went... ! 

I've been grumpy, happy, sad, excited,,,, seems like i never know from day to day.... I sure did cry a lot and even considered re writing my wedding vows. Glad that one  passed!  lol

Hope everything works out well for you... I found this week the hardest.

Millie

Friday for me too!! 😄

and I've been freaking as well. Emotions are everywhere.  Can't wait to be on the other side but can't picture it in my head either so that is freaking me out! 

I think I'm going to miss Opti!  I've really come to like it and it is so easy! Never thought I would say that!! Hahaha! 

Come on Thursday-when they call with the time!  I feel like I've been on hold since this process started!   Time to move forward!! 

Good luck to everyone!!! 

Hi NewMe!

Hang in there!!!! sometime on friday we will both be giving each other a big high five!

Millie

Hi newme!

I know exactly what you're saying.  I can't wait for next week to come.  So anxious nervous and excited that it seems to be moving so slow.

I'm through HRRH but I've been progressing a bit slower than the book recommends. I just wasn't feeling a need or desire for food yet. I did manage to have some really soft and shredded pork loin tonight, but it took about 2 tablespoons worth before I was too full to continue.

I started mashed and pureed veggies about 2-3 weeks out, but really shakes right now are still my best friend. Good luck!
