Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer I am a 34 year old mother of 3. I had my surgery on 6/13 and was out of the hospital on 6/15. My starting weight was 304 this was before starting the optifast, has anyone else experienced optifast 2 wks before their surgery? I have my 2wk follow up on 6/28 and cant wait to get graduated to mushies! I am sick of liquids and I often find myself hungry alot. Is this normal? I thought I was not suppose to experience hunger. I am having a lot of pain on my left side and at times it is unbearable, is anyone else experiencing this? Please let me know that I am not the only one with these issues.

I have started the mushie food but now it makes me nauseous, any ideas on what i can eat at this stage? what did you eat once you started mushies? I was better off on liquids!!

Cottage cheese shaved chicken breast (lunchmeat) banana

i have tried cottage cheese and it makes me sick, i will try the chicken breast lunch meat, do you get like the boars head reduced sodium and fat? I wasnt aware we could have that? I am so lost as to what we can eat. I can usually get a banana down in my protein shake but i just tried to drink one and it was a no go. Thank you for your help bellepink

My Dr allows chicken or Turkey lunchmeat beacause its moist. Low fat yogurt refried beans I bought some deli made chicken salad and tuna salad I mash it with a fork goes down fine. Imitation crab meat and shrimp cocktail too. I can't do eggs yuck . I also eat string cheese just chew til it's liquid.

I had a hard time with boiled eggs, and I just didn't like the metal taste.

Apple sauce, hummas, soup and cream of wheat. I had to change what I ate everyday. I was just not wanting to eat.
