Day 3

Dec 26, 2012

Just a quick update of my progress.

Optifast is hard. As I imagined it would be. But mostly because it tastes like crap. AND, I'd love to be able to CHEW something ya know?

I did drop the ball on the alternatives to optifast which would have come in handy today (sugarfree popcicles and jello). I'm going to pick those up today.

Hopefully the differences in textures will help get through this. Thank goodness it's only 2 weeks, I don't know how I would cope with much longer than that.

I had 3 shakes on day 1, and 2 yesterday. Today I only got one in, but I will try to get another one down before the day is out. I found if I made it like a pudding (add less water) with some vanilla extract it's a lot easier to get down. So I have my broth (with some garlic and red pepper flakes mixed in) and then my optifast "pudding" as a dessert. So it feels like a meal.

And I'm working on increasing my water intake as that has been low.

That's it for now.

And then there were 11.
