Any tips?

[PureDarkness 10]

I'm starting my two week pre-op Optifast diet today, and I'm hoping to get some tips on how to manage it. In particular how to manage hunger.

Thanks in advance

Keep your mind busy. Try getting things around the house done before surgery.

How do you start a new thread?

I found that it wasn't too bad to manage, however today is the day before surgery liquid diet so I want everything, lol. But I found other things to keep me occupied. I always have my water bottle and Premier Protein drinks on my desk at work, and Water with me at home. You just gave find what works for you.

I did Optifast as a diet last year. After the first three days it gets easier. The doctor said you can start with 6-7 packets a day every two hours then work down to 5-6 a day. But do what your doc says of course. But just remember it gets easier after the 3 day. ????
