First day to optifast went great!!
So first day of optifast went great!! No hunger thank god!! lol I drank like 10 bottles of water lol and worked out for 3 hours got all my shakes in I had a sugar free Popsicle and a cup of broth and I'm doing great and hoping for a good outcome tomorrow trying to workout as much as I can hoping that will help with loosing weight or atleast being a lil healthier for surgery day!! By the way optifast is yummy lol I was dreading it I really enjoy it !! Just updating with you all
I'm on third day and yummy I'd prob wouldn't use but tolerable I would LOL
I actually ruined my very first shake when I chose to have vanilla and I added an entire pack of crystal lite to it and it was so disgusting, tasted chemically and was really hard to drink. I blamed it on the opti fast and was sticking to only the choc after, even called the clinic and asked if I could exchange my unopened box.. then I thought well gotta use up the rest so may as well just get it over with .. didn't add any thing to it and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to drink.
Turns out I just added way too much crystal lite.
My first two days weren't bad but today was a struggle.. I am feeling hungry about two hrs after the shake and I just want REAL food. Didn't help we went to a bday party today that was packed with bad yummy food.. but I brought my lil blender and shake and a tea and I survived.
I just keep counting down the days as each night ends and hopefully it will become more routine for me.

Hi Ruby,
I have already told my family and coworkers that while I am on optifast I am avoiding all large dinners and functions where there is good smelling food excpet Christmas.
I have figured out that IF the doctor was right and my surgery will be at the very latest January 15th, then it means I am on optifast for Christmas. My family heard this and are coming this coming Saturday to cook me that dinner. Hopefully this will appease that desire to have it on Christmas day...well what I am REALLY hoping is that I will have had my surgery before Christmas Day and then I won't even have to worry about smelling the food lol.
