Oh...and I have found another good way to cheat is just chew the food and spit it out...sounds gross...but sometimes I crave the texture of the food and it curbs my craving.

My surgery was Aug 22, so I am 4 days post, and I have to admit I cheated a lot..... I didnt follow much of a diet other than the day before clear liquid..... Mentally it was like I needed to eat all my favorites like as if I wouldnt be able to anymore...... stupid, but I did.... nothing crazy, more like I just continued my normal diet (which was obviously not the best)........... havent experienced any drawbacks just yet, but that also may explain my rapid weight loss this first week..... 11 lbs so far.....

It's been rough. I've been on chicken broth, 3 low fat yogurts, 2 Protein Shakes and 2 cups of fruit a day. I've cheated at work. I'm a nurse and i got hypoglycemic one night and our NP made me eat six goldfish crackers and half a fun sized Nestle Crunch and I was much better. So every night half way through my shift I eat the goldfish and fun size candy bar between my yogurt and broth. I know it's not a huge cheat, but dang I feel guilty for doing that. I've lost 22 pounds in 8 days, I keep comparing myself to my brother and uncle's pre op losses and get down, but I know they were both heavier and are male so their bodies metabolize differently. Wow, I'm rambling..must be nervous for Monday!

I'm so glad I found this website/post! I am on day four of Optifast and I have cheated every single day. I take a bite of my son's dinner when I am making it....I EVEN ATE SOME OF THE SPAGHETTI COLD I WAS SO HUNGRY!! I did bite into a chicken finger last night, chewed and spit it out. I have had my coffee in the moring. It was just too much for me. No caffeine and no food all at once.....I felt miserable on day two. I had to go into an empty office at work and close the door to take a nap. Even someone said I sounded wore out. I am frustrated...it's not that the Optifast is that bad or anything, I am just bored with it and I still have 10 days to go. Ugh......I am just ready to get the surgery and get on with it........

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
