Pre-Op Hunger Update

[Mary Ann 0]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement. I really appreciate it.

You were all right, I called my dr and his nurse said not to eat anything except green veggies and Optifast and lots of Water. Today is a lot better for me, I'm not as hungry and I have no headaches but day 2 and 3 were killer! I'm keeping my eye on the prize and aiming to be a successful "looser" like you guys! Thanks again and I will continue to drink strong!

I had to do Optifast for 3 weeks:omg: ! The first 2-4 days were awful. I litterally spent all my extra time in the bedroom with the TV. It's tough, but it is totally worth it. My surgeon said he was concerned before my surgery if I hadnt done the optifast properly, but when he was inside he said he knew I had followed the diet because everything was perfect and made surgery a breeze. It is totally worth it to stick to it. I posted little stickys on the cupboards representing each day I had left till surgery, it gave me great pleasure to rip one down each evening. The day of the surgery you'll be sooooo proud of yourself, it's a great way to start. Good Luck!!!
