opti-fast

my two weeks of opti fast starts tomorrow! I'm hoping I can easily get through the two weeks!! today I was trying to decide what I wanted to eat as my "last meal" but couldn't think of a thing lol so I didn't even have a food funeral because nothing sounded good. hoping that lasts so my two weeks of opti flies by!!

Good luck!!  I hope they fly for you as well!!

Good Luck! I'm a week in on opti of 3 weeks total. I actually don't mind it at all. I'm not hungry and haven't had to add anything to the shakes....yet lol. The week flew by so here's hoping the next weeks do as well. 

you haven't had to add anything? omg the aftertaste is awful, the vanilla is what they should serve people in prison lol! down two shakes two to go and day 1 will be over :)

I guess I'm lucky and one of the rare ones.  I don't mind them at all. I prefer them mixed with just cold water no ice etc. Hopefully they get better for you 

Don't worry, in 2 weeks, you'll wonder how it passed by so fast. Just take it one shake at a time and you'll get there!

had my first shake, vanilla..... it was awful chalky lol but I chugged it to get it over with, will try chocolate next hope that's better 

I am on week 4 of Optifast.  I opted to not have surgery, and just do optifast for 3 or 4 months.  At first I didn't think I could do this for any length of time, but I have found it to not be that difficult.   I have had a few slips, which had nothing to do with hunger, so I know I have lots of mental work to do, but it really isn't that bad. 

I find it helps if the water is really cold (or you blend it with ice) .  I mix my morning chocolate shake with black coffee (not sure if that is allowed on your program)

Hang in there an good luck.

Such a happy feeling, I have only one shake left to take.  My WLS is tomorrow at 8:00am!

One shake left?  Lucky duck!  Good luck tomorrow with Dr Mamazza!  Post when you can how everything goes.

Cheers!
