Today is day 5 of my 4 week Opti Fast Pre Op Diet. So far I am feeling much better today. Montezuma's Revenge has begun! Liquid in liquid out they say, but has finally set in for me. Another odd thing was I had an uncontrollable craving for apple cider vinegar. After research I found this actually helps curb carb and sugar cravings. Who would have thunk it? God has provided me escape from the carb monster! Things seem to be getting much more manageable now. No complaints at all.

Awesome Sammy!  You can do this! The pre op diet gives you a nice jumpstart to the weight loss after surgery too.

My acupuncturist also said that magnesium helps with sugar cravings.

Great job!  It does get better after the first few days.  What an odd thing to have a craving for, but I can't imagine it would hurt anything.  I know that some anorexics drink vinegar to help remove the fluids from their bodies in order to reduce weight, but that shouldn't apply to you.  

Keep it up!  Only 23 more days left on the preop diet
