started my liquid diet today - NOT BAD

Today I officially started my  2 week liquid diet today and you know what????   It's not as bad as I thought.  I actually had to force the last optifast of the day down a few minutes ago. Had a tiny headach earler but it went away with Tylenol.   Had tons of water as well.  I know this migh be TMI but...I feel like I have been in the bathroom all day with #1 and #2.  Not complaining.  Just wanted to share to everyone that is about to start the liquid diet process that it is not that bad.  I also started walking yesterday.   I am aiming for at least 4 times a week.  Trying to get a head start.  WooHoo!

I have started my diet today also. Its a 2 week diet but I started a week early so its technically 3 weeks! figure it couldnt hurt!

I did the optifast for 4 weeks and I loved it, if you use less water you can make it to a pudding consistancy and eat it with a spoon lol add any flavour crystal light to the vanilla and its awesome...good luck

thanks for the info!  I will be starting my liquid diet too as soon as I get my surgery date!

lol....good luck with that.  Let's hear back from you in a few days.

 I don't feel so bad now cause that was exactly what I was thinking too!!  

I was thinking the same thing!  The first two days I was good.  By day 3 I would of sold my daughter for a donut.  By day 5 that had passed.

From what I heard it is hard, I am getting scared...lol   Hope it is only hard for some and I breeze through it, but you are doing good because normally the people I hear from say the first 3 days are horrible.  Thanks for sharing.  Jenny

I start mine 2 week on May 9th... Good luck ...

My surgery date is also May 10, I have to do a 7 day pre op diet. I have to drink 4-5 protein  shakes a day and 1 300 cal meal a day
