This is the worst part. Steady on! It is worth it!

Unfortunately, you have not been sleeved yet so you still have a normal stomach producing ghrelin so it's only natural that you're hungry. I have no real words of wisdom but I want to offer you my support.

I am on day 7/14 of Optifast. It does get better. When u are feeling hungry have a big guzzle of Water. It helps. As u progress (usually day 3 - 4) the hunger subsides. I'm actually quite amazed at how little hunger I feel now. In saying that, my head would kill for a steak!!! The tummy however is not concerned!

I found short burst of exercise helped alot. I pushed my knees on the treadmill and got sweating and voila i got a few hours respite from the hunger

We're almost there, Alie!! Just gotta make it through the rest of today. You have done an amazing job of dropping weight! I, on the other hand, have only managed to lose 8 lbs in two weeks. I know it will come off, and I'm in no rush, but kinda surprised that's all that two weeks of Optifast got me. Good luck and catch ya on the flip side!!
