Day 5 - not impressed
Oct 02, 2011
So day 5 and I'm truly disappointed with no weight loss, I had my period the first three days but its gone now and I'm not sure I'm doing this right
Breakfast
Opti with decaf instant coffee 300ml
500ml water with crystal light
Lunch
Opti with decaf instant coffee 300ml
500ml water with crystal light
1 cup of chicken broth
Supper
Opti with decaf instant coffee 300ml
500ml water with crystal light
Snack
2x SF Popsicles
2x 500ml water with crystal light
This has been my last 5 days so far, for anyone reading, is this ok?
This morning the scale said 252 from 258 5 days ago but then this afternoon it was back up to 256!! Ugh I know I shouldn't be checking but I checked this morning at home and then once on the scales at work. Oh well I'm keeping at it, still so very excited for the big picture!!
Finally told me grandma today and to my surprise after i was done she hugged me and told me that if this is what I need to do to be around longer for my kids then she is behind me 100%. I almost cried! I was expecting her to loose it, to go ape shit about it. Shes very old school and very low key. She told me she knew and had seen what it did to a few people she know and believes I know what I'm doing. Great day even with no weight loss.

Day 3 - Jessie vs Optifast
Sep 29, 2011
oh my god so last night i went and bought some decaf instant coffee thinking ill just try it in the vanilla opti......so for breakfast this morning I mixed them up and WOW i have found my new BFF. SOOO GOOD! Just like a mocha drink! I could drink these forever. I was thinking id check the scale and see what it says today but im fighting the urge. I dont even think its accurate. Last night I also bought cocoa mix and it was ok too but this coffee is way better! I was also looking for sugar free popsicals and at the very last min I saw this one shelf with 2 rows of sugar free stuff. I am very surprised theres not more. I found and bought some and they are awesome. I love love them, but it seriously feels like I am cheating by eating them.

Day 2 - Optifast
Sep 29, 2011
Well yesterday was day 1 and it wasnt tooooo bad.....saying that.... once I got to the 4th one at 10:30 at night ( i was at work) I kinda had to choke it down, I had mixed in crystal light raspberry but ahhh im not so sure i like it in there. I LOVE it in my water but I may try more kinds in the Opti. This morning for breakfast I mixed CL but a fruit punch one. It was tolerable and I drank it fast. I find I have to have them as cold as possable so I went and looked for a insulated cup, found one at Superstore for $5!!
This is the exact same as mine but mines got the blue lid and is clear on the bottom, they had orange and yellow ones as well. So yesterday I didnt have anything but Opti and Water UNTIL I got home at 1030pm from work, I was starving and my head was pounding! I never get headaches so I wonder if it makes it worse when i do. Anyhow I had 1 cup of chicken broth and it was DELICIOUS! Who knew I'd love it as much as I did lol. I was kinda scared to try it cause it didnt smell at that appealing but it was very good. I wonder if it matters what kind of broth? So again today for breakfast I had my Opti and a water and for lunch I just had chicken broth, water and Opti. I only have 16 days left so I think this will be easy! I am however going out to dinner with my girls tonight for a birthday I had argeed to going long before I had a surgery date so this may be a bit awkward. Im glad theres more of them so no one will really notice im not eating. Ill be updating my video blog in a min. Update maybe next week hopefully with some weight loss numbers

1st day of Opti-Fast..
Sep 27, 2011
OK so I started Opti-Fast this morning and its actually not to bad! I only got the vanilla and for my first one I just added cold bottled water put it in the magic bullet and there it is. Smells like cake mix to me, which iv never really been partial to eating but the fact that this is allowed and i cant feel guilty about drinking it....bring it on! I can do this for 3 weeks no problem. I had a talk with my 8 year old son last night about why mom wont be eating anything for a long while, needless to say he doesnt care lol i thought we'd sit down and have this heart to heart and he couldn't care less lol little bugger. Anyhow he knows i will be getting holes poked in my belly but its to help me have more and more and years more fun with him. "so mom can do all the fun things we say we want to do". It went ok, about as well as it can get talking to an 8 year old about something serious. haha. Anyhow im trying to attach a pic in this blog update but it doesn't seem to be working out so well.
I am normally 253ish and I got my period this morning sooo this is what it says.

still waiting
Sep 20, 2011
i'v been trying to stay off here as much as possible actually. I almost hate it at this stage, so exhausting hearing everyone losing and getting dates and all that. I hate being negitive but im super depressed right now. I too lost some weight about 18 pounds and I was so happy but then no call and no call and still no call....i'v totally gone off course and still dealing with my emotions/eating habits...not going well this week is an understatment. Its been 27 days since my surgeons appointment and I couldnt be less happy about it. I know I shouldnt have expected a phone call the next day but I thought it would have came by now. My goal was for the first time ever to take a family picture at Christmas is slowly creeping farther and farther away.. theres no way ill get a date before November and well im upset abou that. I called last Saturday and left a message just saying I hope everything was going ok and that id be avaiible for a cancelation date at anytime. No word yet.

Ok so I dont know why but I called Krista and just asked if everything is ok and asked if she knew if my file was moving along.....agh I hate bugging her, I really do but im so impatient! Its been 3 weeks tomorrow since my surgeons appointment and I have felt awful everyday since. Havent left my house or enjoyed anything for about oh I dont know 21 days now! I dislike being so negitive for this amount of time it makes me sad and it makes people not want to hang out with me lol. Hoping she calls soon..

Still no call
Sep 11, 2011
So still no call, Mondays almost hear and I'm dying over here! Went to the JLC last night in London and fit in the seats there no problem but still don't feel well. Waiting for this is driving me crazy, and I cant smoke or drink....agh! I said to myself I wasn't going to go thru all my old clothes and see what they look like now, but I was so bored today and feeling BLAH, I did :( It wasn't helpful....maybe a little I guess...just remembering that I once was smaller....still no med or Sm's anywhere I looked but a large looks so small now ill take it. Got rid of 3 garbage bags packed with old clothes and was left with 1 big tub of them. Didn't keep many pants cause most are destroyed at the bottoms when i dint care about recking them I also got rid of all the shifts I had stretched out. Some clothes still have tags on them, and I finally found the pair of shorts I LOVED as soon as I seen but even then didn't fit into them even then. Not a great week for me...hopefully good news is coming soon.
