if I'm still on the protein shakes part of my diet? I'm on day 5 of post op and I'm gonna make a chili and puree it and freeze it. I'm just needing something to do tonight. But do you think it'll hurt me if I just taste it (you know to know what spices to add)

Good luck!

I was asked to take out everything but you never know

I am 4 days post op today (already!) And I'm gonna try to brave going out to buy yogurt. I'm nervous but sdo needing to get out!

Thanks everyone! And no idea who David is? Lol I'm Carmen

There's a recipe I'm sip excited to try! The crust is made of cauliflower. It's a super low carn way of having pizza. It's literally a head of cauliflower a cup of cheese (use a low fat mozzarella), an egg and spices. So on my list of things to make once I can eat solids! Yum!

My roommate at the hospital had a hard time urinating. Drink your three mini cups an hour and with your iv drip out should come. As for pain on the left side yep I got it and gas just walk it out. Three days after surgery I'm still getting rid of gas although it doesn't hurt anymore

And I feel great! I have read so many posts saying they regretted their decision for the first week but not me. Yes there's the expected pain but I'm 36 hours out of surgery and can get in and out of bed with esse and can walk comfortably. So excited for the rest of my life ahead of me!

Thanks everyone!

I worth at a women's shelter and all the women got crazy sick today with a nasty flu. My surgery is wednesday and I'm sure if I catch this they'll post pone my surgery. Please pray I stay healthy!

3 more days till the beginning of a new start to my life! So excited!

Congrats on the approval! And yes the nerves are normal and they'll turn into excitement!

NewCarrie once you get to day three you won't feel hungry anymore. I know you can do it! Clearly there's a reason your doctor needs you to be on a clear diet so keep going hun! You can do it

I'm on optifast 4 times a day plus 20 calories extra (i try to do a hello and chicken broth at supper) but yeah if it's liquid going in....

I just started too cutiepie! If it helps at least you can have veggies! I can't lol. I've also been told that this it's the worst. After the first few days it's all up hill! Good luck

I'm on my first week of optifast. In fact I've been on it for two days and holy I'm emotional. Normal?

Oh my gosh everyone! Your support is so overwhelming. I really appreciate it. My boyfriend and I have been talking the past couple days and we're gonna try and with things out. I'm a little nervous to see what happens since he bailed so quickly this time. I get it's been a tough time but in a matter of two weeks I lost my job, found out I was having this surgery in less than a month and got super sick. So it's been a very up and down two weeks. It's been 3 years though and I'm stop not ready to just give that up. Thanks again for all the love though. It helped me so much the past couple days. <3

...And I get dumped by my boyfriend of 3 years. What kind of bs is that?

My boyfriend decided to go on a protein shake diet while I do optifast. He doesn't want to eat in front of me. I love him!
