Opti-fast.... Day one

[missgypsy 1]

i did the Optifast for a week. on the vanilla it will help if you put it in the blender or magic bullet with ice added and also crystal lite (any flavor but i liked the cherry limeade) single packets to taste and blend away. taste so much better!!

Well, I finished up my day one last night with the Opti-Fast Tomato Soup and 2 sugar free popcicles. The Tomato Soup didn't dissolve as well as I would like so instead of pouring the power into the hot Water, tonight I will pour the hot Water on top of the soup. This might help.

As for taste....meh. I don't normally eat tomato soup to begin with.

I can report that the shakes were all good and so is the choco bar that I eat for Breakfast.

As for hunger, didn't have any yesterday. I did have that artificial sweetener after taste in my mouth at the end of the day. Didn't care for that so much.

All in all, a good first day. Now... on to day 2. WooHoo!

I'm on day 2 of the liquid diet and it's ok so far. My hunger was ok yesterday, but I got a headache and it kicked my butt!!

So I'm on day one of this and so far I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the dense Peanut Butter bar. We'll c how the rest of the day goes. I was a heavy mtm dew drinker and this morning I had to literally stop myself and think as I reached in the fridge. I grabbed a Water. That's a BIG step for me. Somehow the little victories make me happy. 13 and 1/2 more days of opti fast. Not that I'm counting. . Lol

Ugh. I hated Optifast. Blah! It makes me nauseated just thinking about it. Sometimes I gag when I try to make a Protein Shake. I still think about mixing the opitfast. Blaaaaaaaaaah!

Hey Va Viv and Taeboguy, I have the same surgical group as you and am scheduled for Nov. 9. I'm a little nervous about the pre-op diet, so it's good to hear about your experiences. Let's stay in touch!
