HURRAY SYRUPS
It's working. I can't believe how much I'm craving savory foods.
I was talking to a relative tonight. She was asking how will doc know if you cheat or don't.
I told her my liver will show it I guess? I didn't know what else to say.
I'm finding myself tongue tied when ppl question me about this.

he will know during surgery. my doctor told me that I must have done very well on optifast because he could tell by the size of my liver. it "helps" them during the surgery to have the liver smaller.
I also lost about 30-35 lbs on opti was I was happy.
I was craving savory as well, that is why finding a chicken broth I could stomach was so important.
30 lbs huh! Wow. I'm down 4 since Tuesday.
The lost of weight makes you wanna stick to it even more.
I'm scared my liver won't be small enough. I'm larger then most on this site. Makes me nervous and scared I won't lose that much.
I been laid up this week with a bad back and knee so I haven't been walking much. I made myself go to target tonight and do some light household shopping. I was BEAT when I got home, was only gone 1.5 hrs. My knee and back where bugging me but the walking felt good for a bit. Gonna make myself walk my apartment building hallways tomorrow. Help my body burn more cals.

I was 435 at the start of my opti month. Dont be nervous about how small your liver becomes, dont need that kind of pressure. just keep on the opti and it will happen on it's own.
remember, no over thinking lol.
I didn't walk at all before surgery. bad knee, bad back, bad body lol. everything hurts. i just stuck with the opti, didn't cheat and it just happens.
Its not like they are going to cut you open and say hmmm liver could be smaller :) so dont stress about it.

Re the drugs for pain after surgery
I took regular Tylenol the red tablets they went down fine and I was really worried about the stronger pain pills and did not want them. Apparently you can swallow pills the size of mm candies so it was no problem
My favourites sf syrups are from Davinci - one is called "German Chocolate Cake" and the other is "Banana". Also have pineapple and Butter Rum. LorAnn favourings are good too, and you unsweetened so you can add whatever sweetener you like, I like stevia. The apple one is extremely good, as is raspberry. They come in these tiny little bottles and you only need to add a drop or two to get big flavour. They cost like 1.99 for a wee bottle and are at many bulk barns. Oh, another favourite is regular almond extract you buy at the grocery store - tastes sooo good.
