18 solid days of optifast

I added diet sod to my optofast shakes to give me  satisfying volume to eat/drink.  This was pre-op.  Diet orange soda to 60zz water and vanilla optifast for a Creamcycle or diet chock soda to water and a choc optfast shake.  That way I took in 6 ox water + package of dry Optifast shake + 10 oz soda.  Just 8 oz + powder did not fill me up. I needed more volume.

I weighed in at the docs once per week - on Thurs - that really helped me mentally.  Thurs - down 1-3 pounds so why would I mess it up over the weekend, then it was Tuesday and why would I mess it up if I had to get weighed in 2 days. So Monday was the only dat I had to worry about.   Just a head game, but it helped me.

Also, I took alot of baths and showers - what the OptiFast NUIT recommended as a distraction.
