I start the two week pre surgery optifast diet of 800 cals per day tomorrow morning and I am determined to stick to it. No matter what. Any suggestions from anyone who is or has done it? And does it really get easier after a couple of days? What can I expect physically and mentally for those of you who have done this? Thanks for any input.

R:blink:

I did 4 straight weeks of it and just stopped today. 3 pre-op and 1 post-op. I wasn't hungry for one second nor was I dizzy or weak except when I stood up too fast.

The chocolate and strawberry are delicious. The vanilla is ok but kind of bland.

All it takes is determination and a positive attitude. Do not think hunger or you'll bring it upon yourself. Think of the final result.

Good luck!!

No kidding on the vanilla!!! I am sippin it right now for breakfast and I had to add a little vanilla flavoring to even taste anything. Oh well, at least I have chocolate and strawberry! I can do this!!:sad:
