Holy Energy Boost, Batman!

Hi everyone! So I'm on day 5 of my 3 weeks of optifast, and I'm pretty sure I'm in ketosis at this point. The back of my mouth tastes pretty gross, which I'm assuming is the bad breath, and I was able to get out of bed much MUCH easier than usual this morning. Normally I'm hitting snooze 5 or 6 times, but today I got up at the first alarm feeling fine!

I didn't think the energy boost would come this early, but I really hope it sticks around!

Hi Kaylar

I felt the exact same way a week into my three week optifast. I hope the next two weeks go just as good for you as your first! So excited for you girl!

Thanks so much! I thought I would feel terrible on Opyi, but now that I've got my routine down I'm not even experiencing cravings like I used to.

Like I'll think about nachos or something and get a craving, and then I just think "that would be nice, but it'll have to wait" and then I'll spend a few minutes looking up low-carb, high-protein recipes I can try making when my surgery is done to get rid of the "I'll never have [blank] again!! D:" feelings, and by the time I've done that the craving has passed and I'm just looking forward to being post op and getting to do some fun cooking experiments. XD

That is all so great!!! You're gonna rock this. :)

Aww thanks!!! :D I'm really excited now. I'm even making plans to take up sewing again for when I need to take in my clothes. It seems like this is going to get me some new hobbies, haha!

That's awesome! Halloween is right around the corner... costume?! :)

Oh my gosh, that's definitely happening now. I'll have to start planning ASAP.

KAPOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that hunger.............lol...... amazing!

Haha thanks!

Fantastic! I actually did not mind opti at all. You've got this!
