Day 5 on Optifast diet before surgery

Jul 01, 2011

So I'm on day 5 of the Optifast diet before surgery. ( lost 11 lbs so far ) Its really not as hard as i first thought it would be. I do a shake at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and a bar at 9pm. I'm surprised i have not had any cravings at all. I do however love my magic bullet. I noticed if i switch out my 9pm bar with my 12pm shake and have hot water with the shake instead of cold water, mix it in the bullet not only does it become thicker but it tastes like hot chocolate and i sleep better at night. ( Its like having a treat before bed as a reward ) The closer it becomes to my surgery date the more excited i get. I do have to say that i am so very proud of myself cause last night i made my family chocolate cake and chocolate frosting from scratch and i didn't once even have the temptation to even try it! ( It must be my mind set for all this ) I think my kids were way more worried about my temptation then i was! LOL! Its so nice though to have such a good support system from my hubby and kids. Now since i made it through my first  5 days on this diet now comes the real challenge to quit smoking. Wish me luck! :o)
