Opti fast bloating?
Good morning everyone!
Happy Boxing Day!
I have a quick question! Did anyone experience bloating and abdominal pain while on Opti fast. I am day 13 and had to sleep in a recliner last night. Not sure if it is the Optifast or just repercussions of the hit to the abdomen following the scooter fall?
I did Optifast for 12 weeks in 2012. Yikes! Not sure how I did that? don't remember feeling this way.
Not horrific pain, just uncomfortable 
I slept with a ho****er bottle for comfort and relief.
No Boxing Day shopping here! Gonna be freezing rain.
A blanket and Game of Thrones marathon.
Take care
9 days until RNY

I didn't have too many issues on optifast. I did take metamucil caplets with each shake and had to use milk of magnesia once at beginning of third week. And of course, drank tons of water.
I hope this isn't because of your accident. Are you on pain relief for that? Maybe that could make things more blocked up?
If it continues, I would ask your clinic.
Happy Boxing Day- freezing rain on me too :(

Thank you for replying 
No... I took Dilaudid first couple of days but nothing since.
Advil used to be my go to but not allowed post RNY.
I am trying to protect the integrity of my stomach.
I too had some constipation early on and started Metamucil.
I feel better today. Going to Chamomile tea throughout the day.
How are you feeling? Are you tolerating the water?
Take care

I definitely am learning the difference between a sip and a gulp :)
I tried some skim milk and it made me sick. I have never had trouble with milk before so I hope that doesn't continue.

I took CorePower26 BEFORE surgery. It was premixed and easy! I took Ungury AFTER surgery and got bored. I now use Premier Protein. My doctor wanted me on 100% Whey so I didn't take Premier until the second month after. It's also premixed and easy!
I like easy!
If it doesn't agree with you, switch!
Hello
I wish that I had a choice.
Optifast for 21 days... I have 9 mores days until RNY.
It is supposed to shrink our livers. What the heck? Not sure I believe that. I think it is geared towards preparing us for the famine. Lol OR it is a real money grabber...
I have to admit that doing Optifast over the holidays has been hard.
I bought Premier Protein at Costco a couple of months ago. It was on sale so I bought 6 cases.
I also bought the Vega Sports Performance unflavoured to mix into food.
I wondering why the preparation is so different every where.
How did you do over the holidays? Did you find it hard?
Please continue your posts... You are an inspiration! 
Take care

Hello!
How are you doing?
How are things progressing with you?
I am okay... I am most uncomfortable climbing into and out of bed. I find I am uncomfortable sitting. Even my bra is uncomfortable. Feeling like Princess and the Pea.
I tell you, I am convinced that this has prepared me for the RNY.
I am also using a ho****er bottle cozy for comfort.
Day 15 Opti fast 
7 days for RNY 
So hard to believe... One of my friends said good luck next week. Yikes, my surgery is next week! 
Take care and thank you for asking .
