So today is day seven and it has gotten better, the dizziness is prettt much gone, and the headaches have calmed down a bit.

Lol my friend just told me that she had dreams where 6 different types of food would be chasing her lol now thats funny.

I am on day 7 of my 4 week liquid diet. I hgave to do 7 optifast supplements a day which can be a shake, bar or soup mix and match. I can have 1 cup of vegetables a day which are cucumbers any color bell pepper any color lettuce and celery I can also put red wine vinegar on the lettuce. I can have a unlimited amount of sugar free popsicles , 1 cup of sugar free jello, caffeine free diet pop or just diet pop if you drink anything with caffeine you have to replace it with water. I have to get in at least 64oz of liquidsa a day and the water that goes in my shakes and soups are included in that 64oz so is any sugar free decaffeinated beverage. the nutritionist also gave us tips on things we could do to make the taste of the soups and Shakes tast better and we can have sugar free mints and gum.

I woke up today so mad at myself, well first let me say this is day seven of my liquid diet, & I have been very good I have not cheated. Now I guess my subconscious mind wants to start messing with me, I had a dream that I made some steaks for my son & I. I mean they were perfect, let me tell u I woke up licking my lips I swear for a minute there I could really taste it, then I instantly became mad till I realized it was JUST A DREAM. So as I sit here sipping on my shake I think "it was good while it lasted, but im happy it was not real".

Sounds like you and your wife have a great system, I mite have to piggyback that lol dont be surprised if I ever say "hey what yall eatting 2mara" lmbo I mite needs some pointers. Whats that app called that u have to add all that up, I have lose it on my phone but I wanted to check out different ones.

From what I hear the peotein woll help u loose more ans lessen hair lose.

Today makes day 4 of Optifast

has anyone had Optifast to affect their cycle. I've been on for about a week and a half I never go for more than 5 days. and I don't mean to be gross but now I have clots I saw on youtube that Optifast can affect your cycle. only 1 other time some years ago I was on for a month and had the clots and had to go to the ER, I use to be on the Nuvaring for heavy flow, but I stopped using it. any suggestions or should I just wait a while my surgery date is October eighth and I don't want anything to get in the way of that by the way I still have 3 1/2 more weeks of a Optifast to do.

Yeah that happens to a lot of ppl you may need a full face mask and if u wake up with a dry mouth you may need a chin strap to keep youe mouth closed. Some times little adjustments make a world of difference. Also weight changes causes it not to work so when u loose you may need ur numbers to go down or even taken off eventually.

Thnk you both ive been tryna see or rather start a meal plan now.

Omg you should be able to see the diffference nite away. I hated the fact that I was sleepy all the time.

What's a good amount of protein we should get in daily post-op and pre-op?

Thanx ladies I hate being dizzy im like out for the count, I cant function like that I hope 2mara I will feel better. I didnt go to the gym I was afraid of falling off the tredmill, I feel like I can jus sleep this month away. Oct 8th cant get here quick enough.

Congrats and why were u in the hospital?

Today is day two of my four weeks of Opti fast, and I feel like CRAP I have just about all the symptoms of fasting, im light-headed, dizzy, and I got a headache. Im tired as all get out and feel sick from the dizziness, I hope this doesn't last the whole four weeks. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
