New Video: Outlook on liquid diet, Day 20

Hello OH friends,

It is officially day 20 for me and my optifast diet. Tomorrow is my last day, then surgery on Thursday morning, and I could not be more excited. I have posted a new video talking about what 20 days feels like, and what I am looking forward to. I should place a warning though, that I also discuss surgery mortality rates and how that has also played on my heart and mind... if this sort of topic is too much for you, stop watching when I stop talking about the liquid diet.

As always comment here or there and I will reply :)

I liked your video, but despite everything I keep hearing, I still find it hard to believe people aren't getting hungry on the liquid diet.  I'm not having surgery for several months, so I haven't started mine, but when I've tried meal replacements before I've been starving.  I hope my experience this time around is more like yours and I'm not crazy hungry when doing the pre-op diet.

Well most meal replacements are full of sugar and not nutritionally sound. The optifast program that I was on with my surgeon is 4 OptiFast shakes per day which contain 900 calories total and all the vitamins and minerals needed for one day. So your body is satisfied nutritionally. There were many days that I was so full I only got 3 shakes in!

I wish you the best of luck in your journey :)
