The first few days were the worst for me. I would think that by day 4 or 5 things should get better.

Day 5 was my worst! I wasn't ever thirsty, can't help you with that one? Broth and MIO (sugar free flavoring for water) were my godsends. I wish you luck! One day at a time. Oh and if I was tempted (usually at supper time with all of the cooking smells) I would take a long walk.

Hi Robin

I am day 13 on Opti and I found that I was hungry (and really thirsty) quite a bit as well. I found if I drank a lot of water I felt better/full. I also found the occasional SF jello or chicken broth helped on the days I felt really hungry.

Best of luck

Day 5 was the worst for me. My stomach was growling all day and I felt incredibly hungry but by the next day, I was fine.

I am also very thirsty, almost like I just can't get enough. I guess it's good though to help you get your 8 glasses of water in and also help you lose weight.

Since we're Ottawa surgery twins, how much have you lost thus far? How are you preparing for surgery and what are you going to bring with you?
