Optifast time

Mar 22, 2013

Got through the first day of my optifast . Thank God cause everything I tried was so nasty. I was really ready to give up last night. I kept thinking why am I putting myself through this. then I looked at my boys and remembered. I am a strong woman and have been through hell and back a few time in my life already it is time for me to live a happy healthy life. I am on day 2 of 14 and I tweaked my optifast a little this morning. I finally like it and know i can do this.

 

Day 3 of optifast and doing very well. I got the thickness down now and have been experimenting with all sorts of flavors. I for sure enjoy vanilla with decaf coffee more then the chocolate. learning experience i guess. I have not felt any hunger what so ever and I have even been ok in the same room with my family while they eat. so I guess all is good in that aspect. I am now down 4 pounds. If I keep up this rate I will be under 200 lbs by surgery. my goal was to be at the 200 mark by surgery so no complaints there. Hope everyone else that just started optifast is doing as well as I am. On a bad note I have been getting head aches after each drink. I think it is the appertain. I will call my clinic Monday if it keeps up. My body probably just needs to get use to it.

 

 

Day 4 of my optifast. I feel pretty good. I have energy off and on and am use to the taste now. I still have not felt any hunger however I did have a rapid heart beat last night after walking up some stares. I looking it up on line and it seems to be normal but if it continues I will call the clinic in the morning and see if I should see a doctor. I am down 5 pounds now

 

Day 5 of 14 on my optifast and things have been getting better here and there. I mixed a vanilla in with vanilla extract and some banana extract and boy oh boy was that good. I can drink that all day long. The hunger I felt yesterday seems to of stopped and I had enough energy to do a 30 min work out. I am all and all feeling pretty good today. I am not down 6 pounds. Seems a pound a day is what I am shedding witch is wonderful.

 

So I am done my day 6 on optifast and now Im half way there. I hope time flies now cause it has been going slow so far. I have only lost 5 pounds well I shouldnt say only lol but I thought I was losing more and then realized my scale was off so I went out and bought a new one today.I hope I will make my goal of 200 pounds for surgery. 9 more days to go till my surgery.

 

 

Day 8 of 14 over half way there and doing great. I fit in a pair of jeans today that I have not worn since I quite smoking 5 years ago. that made me feel great. Today I am down 7.2 pounds and cant wait for my surgery on Thursday.

 

Day 11 of 14 wow only 3 more days of my optifast that makes me so happy but that also means that in 4 days I will be having my surgery and starting my new life witch is scaring me a little now. I have been feeling a bit more tired the past few days and have been trying to sleep in as much as I can. I am so happy I did not have to work while going through all this. I think my BF is getting worried he seems to be in a mood lately and I do not think he is looking forward to this anymore. I know he wants me to be happy and knows that this is something I need to do for my self and my health. He is supportive but I think stressed. Even though he says he is not worried about anything but me and how I am doing I think he is worried about our relationship. How it will be after and I am looking forward to a better happier relationship. Anyhow I am down 8 pounds so far

 

Day 12 of 14 wow that sound to scary.... Ok so I woke up not feeling the greatest today. I seem to have no energy and a bit moody but that was probably from the post I put up yesterday that people really got to me with. Anyhow still down my 8 pounds I thought I would of lost more but it is what it is and 8 pounds is still a lot in 12 days. Witch could of been more since I probably gained weight before I started my optifast. I went from the time I had my pre op appointment witch was almost 2 months before I started my opti.And like most of us out here I ate all the things I knew I couldnt have for a long time. Hope everyone else that is on opti is doing well and get ready surgery day is around the corner. Happy to say I have not cheated even though I had days where i really wanted to.

 

Day 14 and only two more optifast to go . Never thought I would be so happy to see this day come. I did not sleep at all last night and sure I wont tonight either. Wish I could take a sleeping pill. I will try some sleepy time  tea and see if that will work. My surgery is tomorrow at 12:30 and I have a long 3 hour drive to get there. The good thing is my BF surprised me with a rental car so we can drive in comfort since ours is ready to fall apart on us right now. My mother in law will be picking me up in a few days when I leave the hospital that will be nice to have some time with her since we are never alone. (very big supporter). Today I am down 10 lbs and will be more then likely down another pound by morning. I did not reach my goal of 200 lbs for surgery but very close. I will be going into it around 207 lbs
