Ending week one of Opti, and tonight I want food.

All in all I think I have done ok on the Opti, day one was the worst day, I'm not sure if I wanted to kill myself or someone else first, but I made it through.  Each day got slightly better, but now tonight I'm starving, i need something to chew, some sustenance.  I need a chicken nugget!!!!

LOL back away from the nugget....back away from the nugget!!

Can you drink broth or anything? Add spices to it...dress it up. 

Thanks, I needed someone to talk me down, someday maybe I can return the favour

How did your appointments go today?

It is tomorrow that I go. They moved my appts times from 11-1-2 to 9-10-11. Got all my stuff ready to go!! Just hoping the traffic isn't bad. 

keep up the good work, you are getting closer and closer and can do this!  For me when I needed "crunch" I had the sugar free popsicles, and I actually crunched them like ice chips, helped a lot.

Good luck only 15 days left, you can do it!

All the best,

Leslie

Thanks for that, I have to get through this.  My defences are down, I had my last sleep study last night and I'm exhausted. Time to learn how to get through things without food!

Did you go to the clinic on Third St in Cobourg? I go next Thursday night. Not looking forward to it. I have never been before. 

Yep, thats the one  Sleep studies are kind of a pain, it takes what feels like forever to get "hooked up" then you don't really sleep great  

No you don't need a chicken nugget.  You need to learn to cope with that feeling by chewing on gum or chewing on ice or chewing on pen caps even. No chicken nugget is worth possibly throwing yourself out of ketosis because it will be day 1 all over again.

Hi Cindy, I know everyone says don't eat.  But I felt the same way, so I had a saltine cracker.  It took the hunger and ill feeling away.  Just one was all that was needed/
