i have 7 days till my surgery ( april 4th) and I have now finished week 5 of my 6 week Optifast pre surgery diet.. & i hate it hahaha 6 weeks of Optifast is ridiculous, i have lost 10kgs in 5 weeks though so that is great!
I will confess i have cheated twice both times with a bag of potato chips.. I was reading thru other people who have done the same.. as far as i can tell it wont do any harm for surgery but still i feel bad about it ohh well .. I have done so well so far I am not going to let this set me back , my starting weight was 135kgs in June 2013 I am now 106kgs I am very excited about the next step moving foward.
I also had to have my gall blader removed 2 weeks ago ( by the same surgen) and i would not reccomend this while being on optifast beacuse all you want is something comferting to eat .. even toast..
I guess why i cheated was i had my last weigh in on Monday and then i think i was rewarding myself for a job well done.. and I also knew that after surgery i cant eat anything ..
Anyways people if you cheat like I did then just pick yourself up and move on and try not to do it again !
Also just a side note i personally lasted 4 weeks before i cheated and i find it amusing that some people cant even last 14 days I would have loved to only be on optifast for 14 days not 42 !
