The liquid diet is kicking my butt!! I'm still trucking at it tho.. so far no cheating!! except the little bit of peanut butter I add to the shakes.. I find it gets rid of the sour rotten taste! I had a mini meltdown this evening, mostly because I am a bit sick.. sore thorat and I am Pooped! its been a crazy weekend!

I'm doing ok...my stiches fell off today.
I'm still feeling bruised internally and externally. I'm still dieting so i haven't given up. My appointment with dr. Denis is on monday and I will have more info then. Dr. Denis felt as bad as i did when he broke me the news. He assured me i wouldn't have a long wait so we will see. I look at this as a trial test.
How are you doing with the shakes??

Yes robyn.
I did start my Optifast/thedevil! lol :) the first couple days sucked the big one.. I started on Thursday the 4th.. I'm so far down 8lbs.
I find a 1/2 teaspoon of whipped peanutbutter has saved my liquid diet life! I add it to the chocolate opti and it tastes so much better!
I may have had a bit of a meltdown tonight about food.. but I am better now.. Benefiber is a great idea too Ada..I didn't mention it because it gives me what I call bubble guts lol!! makes my intestines go all crazy! not a big fan.. however the lemon raspberry is quite delicious!
Are you ladies planning on coming to the oct 17th meeting???

I find restoralax or lax a day very gentil
It takes about 24h to work. Take It once a day it's order less and tasteless and dosent cause intestinal cramping or gas.
Like colace dose.
