2nd day of liquid diet...not so bad!

I started my pre-wls diet yesterday and so far so good!  The shakes aren't that bad really.  Being on the shakes just means I'm one day closer to surgery!

Keep up the great attitude Beverly and you will do fine!!  I had to mix mine with fat free milk because I felt so weak.

I have fat free milk, but so far I have just used water and once tried almond milk.  The hardest part is getting four or five in a day, depending on if I do a meal in place of one.  This time next week, I'm sure I will be getting pretty tired of them!

I had to do 4 weeks of Optifast, 5 shakes, 1 small food meal.  Actually, althought I know I complained, it wasn't that bad.  The one food meal was the saving grace.  I got bored, but never hungry.  I had headaches for the first few days but otherwise, I just counted off the days and it meant I was getting that much closer to surgery.

 I'm so glad you're doing okay!  I did a week of liquids, and it was easy for me after day three.  Hopefully, it will be smooth sailing for you from here on out!

Good luck!  Stay busy and focused!  October is JUST around the corner!  This liquid diet will jump start your weight loss too!!
