Surgery Date booked and paid for 10th December - yeah just before Christmas, i'm self destructive. I will be on small portions by then i hope BMI 35 - I strive to be a comfortable size 10-12 Optifast Diet 2 weeks before op - Im struggling! I have lived off this 'eating anything and everything because next week i wont be able to' mentality that now i've hit a wall. Im currently 5 days into Optifast and im doing ok. I have cheated with a tiny chip here or a sneaky lollie there but otherwise i have been dedicated to 3 shakes a day and a salad. Im curious to find out if others have cheated like this and if it effected their outcome! Im starting to get the bad breath thing so im taking that as a good sign that im doing well with Optifast Happy to chat anyone in a similar position.

FIVE more days till my surgery i am now very comfortable on the Optifast diet pre op, it gets easier and easier as the days go on. It has been easy when i can sleep in and almost miss a whole meal. But when i get back to work tomorrow i'll be working 12.5 hour shifts and thats when keeping myself occupied with things other than eating gets hard. i dont know whats more exciting, counting down till Christmas or counting down till surgery all i know is, its not long now till both!

Hey Angie, yeah the lite jelly is definitely helping and today i purchased the Optifast chocolate dessert so im looking forward to trying that later THANKS good luck to you (2 days before me yeay)

Thanks AnnieM that makes me feel a lot better

How much did you cheat? i feel bad, hope it doesn't effect my surgery. Ive had a shape biscuit here, and 2 jatz there. Nothing huge like a meal but im wondering how much im hindering myself by doing this. Ive got 8 more days till im banded
