I know what you mean! Water is your best friend, drink every time you get a craving.... It's not easy but I guess we have no other option lol. I spent the first three days in bed, even now I try to just stay home a lot much easier that way. Are you having the shakes or have you tried the Soup?

I have nearly the entire Optifast range. The Soups are delicious and do help with the carb cravings. Just not sure how im going to get through the next 4 weeks. I didn't have to start till tomorrow but started a week early. One week or day at a time

Absolutely! I like to make little goals, like getting more Water or going to woollies with the kids and not sneaking in a chocolate!

I couldn't tolerate the chicken Soup so have a box here if you would like it? I can send it down I tried one and almost gagged. Funny how people think that this is the easy option, if only they knew hey.

I actually really like the Soups. Lol I would be happy to pay for them. I have read alot about people getting constipated on Optifast but im having exact opposite. I have also refused to go back to shops. Cant handle the temptation

I know right! I went out today and walked past sushi train..... Urghhh bloody shakes really don't cut the mustard sometimes. On the plus side I think I drank all my Water - I am sure now that the weightloss is from constantly walking to the toilet. It's funny opti fast has worked both ways on me, one day constipated the next loosey goosey. I'm not sure wether it's the days I eat veggies or not. Last few days I haven't felt like eating anything, there is only so many mushrooms you can eat before your head tells you that it's no substitute for meat lol. I will try finding you on Facebook but feel free to look me up Diana Coyte ( not to many of us with that name) talk soon

It's not showing up? I tried looking for you but I only found someone in Perth? Am I doing something wrong... Not the most tech headed person. Going to the post office tomoz do you want me to send the box of Soups down - email your address if you like. Funny I have been pretty emotional today, the closer it gets the more I want it to hurry up.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
