This is kind of journal, on my two week journey on the optifast and before surgery. 
While your on the optifast, you can only have crystal light, diet pop, water, black coffee and tea, well yesterday when I was at the dietician class, she told us, that we could also have lettuce if we are really hungry, wish I knew that two weeks ago. And the optifast taste really horrible, my first two days on it, I was just bringing it back up. The third day I experimented a bit and found I could keep it down if I mixed the optifast with vanilla, especially the vanilla flavor optifast. Then one day I added cinnamon and nutmeg, well that was a lot more tolerable. And with the chocolate I added coffee and vanilla, it was tolerable, and then added some cinnamon and nutmeg to it. 
I am on day 10, and I am keeping it down now, and counting the days to my surgery. I am so excited.
I will keep everyone posted on journey in and out of the hospital, I know it is hard for people when they don't what to expect. And little secrets people learn on their journey.
