1st day of Opti-fast and other adventures

Jun 30, 2011

I started my two week Optifast diet today. So far I have had the chocolate peanut butter bar which was fine, the chicken soup which was fine (albeit lumpy no matter how much I stirred), and a strawberry shake which was YUCK! I have my next Strawberry shake in the freezer in hopes that will improve the taste. Really though, I'm not that concerned about the taste. I am more concerned about getting my 20-lb weight loss in before my surgery. I am a bit mad that my husband knew I was starting the liquid diet and went out and stocked up on junk food last night. He said he was going to start eating healthier, but so far not so good. I hope that going forward he will be a bit more supportive, but I'm not going to hold my breath!

Last night I had my sleep study. It was fine; I was a bit embarrassed when I got there because the tech was super cute, but he was also super nice and put me totally at ease. I also had a bit of a hard time sleeping with the plastic cannula in my nose, but nothing unbearable.

I still have not heard about my insurance approval. I am still hoping maybe I will hear later today or tomorrow. I am just SO, SO ready to get this over with and to move on with life.
