Oh Lawd... I just started the 2 week opti fast diet. I'm going to need support to make it through these 2 weeks! Day 1.. Done. Anyone else doing liquid diets right now?

They are called Optifast. It is the same brand as the shakes I am drinking. It is a prescription diet my doctor requires 2 weeks before surgery. It comes in chicken flavor and tomato herb. Both kinds are actually pretty good. After shakes all day, it is a major treat to have the Soups.

Omg day 2 of liquid and I so can't see myself doing this for 12 more days! I do get jello and Popsicles but I want something salty. If kill for some sunflower seeds right now

Lolawaiting,

Keep going! I am on day 12 of all liquid, no Jello, no Popsicles. Good side... I have dropped 20 pounds so far! That part of it is amazing.

Oh you can do it! Do you get broth? That wad where I got my salt from

broth my savior! I ended up drinking 3 cups for a total of 30 calories and feel so much better. Good job snow! So I wish I only had a couple of more days to go... I'm worried about my poor class too- especially when I know this week will be filled with treats at school :/

I wish I could just get use to eating like this all the time... Protein shakes, sip broth through the day and a light dinner... Then maybe I wouldn't need surgery :/ oh who am I kidding? I'm already thinking about the delicious, healthy things I'll get to eat in a couple months

So interesting seeing how different all liquid diets are! I start mine on New Year's Day for two weeks. I am allowed 6 glucerna shakes a day as well as water, crystal light, broth, and sugar free icepops or jello. It'll be a LOng two weeks!!!!

I'm on day 3 LOL I'm not really hungry. But I really want something to chew. LOL. Liquid diet crap LOL oh and ps I haven't lost a pound on this LOL. Does anyone know how.it shrinks your liver?

on my liquid diet I was allowed cottage cheese. so whenever I would feel hunger in between shakes I would take a bite and it git me through. the losing weight helps shrink your liver and being on a strict liquid diet can cause fast rapid weight loss. its nothing to lose up to 15 pounds while on it

Those on fast Chew gum and eat Popsicles. It's all in the mind so just keep telling yourselves that it is for your health and you don't want complications.

3 more days of liquid diet. This is the first diet I have not cheated on. I'm in the zone now.. In a contest with myself to not cheat. Gotta say I feel good, I've lost 20 pounds, and haven't been too hungry. Lots of water is keeping me honest. Whenever hunger kicks in, I drink lots of water. Good luck, all!

Amazing!!!

Snow I'm so happy your doing so great. I'm not doing as well LOL. I think maybe to much broth lol

Im on day two and struggling. Especially since im craving chocolate obsessively.

Having a hard time right now. Working nights so im use to eating to stay awake

I went cold turkey on food and caffeine when starting the liquid diet. I can't imagine working nights without caffeine at least! Good luck to you. Stay strong! I'm at Day 14 of all liquid. I've got one more day, then surgery Thursday. I weigh myself every morning and that helps to keep me motivated. I've lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. Keep at it!
