Day3 on Opti and guess what!!!!!

Well today was my day 3 on optifast and decided to hop on the scale for the fun of it and I'm down 6 lbs already I was shocked but very happy.. Let me tell ya on Sunday my first day on opti I had a very hard time I was not mentally ready for the no food part, I guess we never really are!!! But thank you to Tanya T and Aticknovich (Allison) for there support as well as my OH family  Today was alot better the hunger was minimal and hopefully better as days go by.

Each day will get better. Keep up the good work!

Wow!  Glad to hear that the hunger pangs are diminishing.  Congrats on the 6lbs.

you go girl!! I am 6 days after you with Dr. Hong. Just stay focused on the goal and opti will be over before you know it

 Your welcome Carole

I know you can do it , great job 6lbs, its just a start!!!

o****ep hearing about this opti stuff that I am going to have to drink 4 times a day and what I want to know is how did you guys get it down? I gag on milk and cant imagine having to drink something that tastes bad. Also the only thing I drink right now is diet coke, is it true I am going to have to give that up?

Yes, carbonated drinks are not allowed in the post-op diet at any of the centres.

Yes, you will most definitely have to give up the diet coke.

There are many ways to make Optifast (or any shake for that reason) more palatable. If you're interested, click the "Ontario recipes" link in my signature and then on the "discussion" button to the right when you get to the forum, to see the recipes.  There's an entire thread on '"surviving Optifast" with some great ideas.

Ah thanks I appreciate the help.
