Where does the four cheat days come in? I started my 4 week Optifast diet on Apr 20 and my dietitian did not say anything about cheat days?

Okay... So day 2 of the liquid diet. This is way more about my head than hunger at this point. It's about control and poor coping skills. Am I alone, or is anyone else feeling like a big ball of emotions? :(

I'm on day 12 and it does get easier. Stay focused on the goal. The more your organs shrink the better the surgeon can perform. I chew on straws to help

I'm on day 9 of a 14 day Optifast pre-op diet..I had wicked bad headaches up to day 5 plus being sleepy and kinda moody. Once my body got over the caffeine withdrawal I started to feel better! So just hang on it does get better!

I am on day 4 of my 4 week Optifast diet. Today was a little better than yesterday I hope the trend continues. I been trying to get the energy to exercise more. So far I have walked a mile on Saturday and Sunday. I am really trying to get in a 3 rd day this week to work my way up to five days. How are you guys doing with the exercise?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
