Started this optifast pre op diets... And now I have an upset stomach. I am afraid I am going to dehydrated. Everytime I drink one boom I am in the bathroom? Anyone havet this problem?

I feel horrible. So light headed...seems like right around 3 oclock I am done!! Please tell me this goes away after surgery.

I am wondering if a could be having caffeine with withdraws to.

Yup, about 3 o'clock was my crash time too! And yes, if you had much caffeine that's probably part of the misery. Post-op I'm tired but otherwise feel fine, no headache, not miserable like I was pre-op! PLUS!!!!! Not hungry one bit! It's a strange sensation to just never be hungry.

Can't wait to start the optifast… do note the sarcasm there… I get to have three weeks of shakes but I can have chicken and beef broth, black coffee and herbal tea as well as SF Jello and SF Popsicles. Can't find the Popsicles tho.

I make SF Popsicles for my granddaughter from crystal light. I picked up the molds from Wal-Mart they are less then 5 dollars and well worth it for me not to be feeding her sugar all day long since we live in sunny HOT Florida.

I just tried the Soups. Two bite and I about threw up. The are horrible also.. I guess I will only be doing the shakes and jello!!

Yeah the soups are nasty. I can't eat them either

Okay how is all my opti fast friends doing???.... I am so hungry I have started to crave the shakes. Weird!!

I'm on my 3rd day of shakes, it has gotten better and I'm drinking plenty of water(ocean spray). I weighed myself today and have lost of total of 7lbs, of course it's only water weight, but I'll take it!

I am still struggling a bit but I got a surprise today. Started my period!! Grrrr.... I do like the shakes. I wouldnt mind doing those after.the surgery but I guess they have to much sugar.

I'm sorry, glad mine was over last week. What day are you on shakes? Is it only shakes or shakes with Water and sf Jello?

I am doing Optifast strawberry and chocolate. Sf jello, water... Cant handle the Soups . Had a little Peanut Butter today because I honestly thought I might pass out. But I am down 4 more pounds. Doctor said he would like me to lose 5 to 10 pounds. I was down two before I started so I think I will be okay. The first day of my time of the month is always horrible.

Your welcome pays to have a 6 year old granddaughter. Let me share my other ideas.

My new china and glasses for post surgery. No way I can over eat using these.

Looks great! I was thinking of picking up some children's dish and spoon set. Something small. And a few small (4oz) tupperware containers for work. Might work for me. ?

On day 6 of the Optifast diet and kinda miserable. Saturday was awful, I was starving all day. I finally resorted to a small salad and felt a bit better. Sunday wasn't great either but I wasn't as hungry as yesterday. Maybe I was better with the Water and Snacks. It's all a blurr these days!

Haven't tried the chicken Soup but have almost gone through a box of tomato soup. I did add some garlic, onion flakes, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese to make it tolerable. Helped a lot and seems to make you feel fuller than the drinks.

I also have been mixing a vanilla and chocolate drink with some ice and a squirt of chocolate syrup to make "milk shakes" Shared with my boy friend and 3 year old nephew and neither would drink them! Lol. I thought it was pretty good, so it must mean I'm getting used to them!
