Started optifast on Wednesday and...
Feeling weak is totally normal, you are taking in way less calories than you are use to. Good luck with your surgery!

Congrats on the loss so far :) I also started Opti on Wed and am down 9 lbs!
I too am feeling weak and having periods of light-headedness, more so when doing physically demanding work like yesterday when I tried to move a cord of firewood from my shed to my porch.
It's an exciting journey though!

Hey Jenn,
What a coincidence that we're both named. Jen and started optifast on Wednesday.
Congrats to you too in the weight loss! I know we'll probably lose more weight. I'm just worried about my sugar levels. Seems to be increasing when I lowered my insulin. Hospital says it's fine.
Good luck with your weight loss journey!
Jen
I love little coincidences like that!
I hope your insulin stays within acceptable levels until the surgery and then hopefully after surgery they'll no longer be an issue at all!
