j4g3n0 0 Posted April 23, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
askinnyme1 25 Posted April 23, 2013 Well really ita not a cheat day because u can't pig out but u do have to still drink four shakes but replace the other with a lean cuisine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lookingforward16 8 Posted April 23, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mscott63 2 Posted April 23, 2013 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 Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j4g3n0 0 Posted April 23, 2013 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?
