aNuMe 59 Posted September 9, 2012 As tomorrow approaches I feel happy excited, scared, anxious and intimidated all kinds of emotion are running thru me. I start my Optifast tomorrow and im so nervous about it. Is it weird that im not scared of having the surgery (probably cuz ive been under the knife about 3 other times), but this liquid diet got me on edge, I guess if I didnt have to cook for my kids I would feel a little better. So I had my last real meal today, it was steak potato and veggies as of 8am tomorrow I will b on the grind with this liquid diet, I kno I will need words of encouragement to get thru. At least I have a friend who had the surgery about 4yrs ago she's willing to go on a liquid diet with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniec 166 Posted September 9, 2012 That's nice of your friend. The liquid diet is hard at first. As the days go by it gets easier. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aNuMe 59 Posted September 9, 2012 How long is your liquid diet? Four long hard weeks as I type im tryna get down my first shake and OMG Im gaging im gonna have to doctor these up cuz my stomach cant take it this vanilla shake reminds me to much like milk and I cant drink that it comes rite back up soon as it hits my stomach. I literally have to do the little kids trick plug my nose or hold my breath and get it down, well at least it'll take me a while to drink it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
