Problems with Optifast

Aug 01, 2014

Day 4 and I can't keep it down. Headache, sweats, nausea, vomiting.

Followed the diet to the letter - water, Optifast, some broth. Jello yesterday. Occasional diet drink with ice. Left messages with Nutritionist and Doctor.

Feeling pretty sick.

 

**UPDATE**

It is now evening and I've had a bath after laying in bed all day with a ferocious headache, whilst my stomach and throat recovered from all the vomiting.

I heard from Mary, my nutritionist, who suggested that it might be a stomach bug, and I hope she is right! Mary advised me to get through 2 Optifasts a day, if I could. I was glad to hear from her, as today is Friday and a long weekend. If I am unable to keep the Optifast down, I am to take 4 Boost Diabetic drinks with 1/4 cup of my whey protein powder in each.

Lots of prayer and determination will see me through this. I have only 2 and 1/2 weeks of this. If I can just get through 2 and 1/2 weeks, by God's grace, I will arrive to my surgery date of August 19.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
