Hey, I'm a newby. In Victoria, 34. Week 1 of optifast intense phase. Surgery on 24th May.
Diet: some days are harder than others but I've faught: I've sat in a bakery, gone to subway and cooked for my son, quite proud of myself but every day is a challenge not to break it. Mainly cause I'm hungry and also cause of BAD wind pain and severe rumbling in my stomach is like my stomach is trying to eat itself. Can only wish.
Surgery I think my only question for others who have had it is: are u severely nauseous in hospital, if so how long do u think it lasted? Also did anyone have wind pain after from the gas in stomach? If I don't get hungry really after op I think I can do this well. Fingers crossed. Oh and I've lost 2.5 kilos in 5 days on optifast.
