I woke up this morning with the "headache" and he shakes on day 2. These Optifast shakes are horrid I wish they would use the Premeir Shakes those are good. Now to fill up on liquids.< /p>

Tell me about it!! I'm on 4 weeks of that stuff - 13 days to go! I didn't have a problem until a couple of days ago. I was gagging thinking about drinking another Optifast but I pushed through and they are now more tolerable. I heat the chocolate for a fairly decent cup of hot chocolate. Bought some flavoring; cherry, strawberry, coconut, banana, etc. and that helps tremendously. chocolate and strawberry Optifast in a blender with ice cubes = smoothies. Put cherry flavoring in chocolate - think chocolate covered cherries! :-)

After surgery I can use Usury, Premier, Yahoo, etc. Supposedly however, ..... Optifast is the best Meal Replacement formula to get all nutrients. I quit taking supplements when I started a Optifast.

Hang in there.

I have to bring some ice into work, I just don't have a big freezer here, I have tried the exracts and they just taste funny to me maybe using to much or not enough I have a blender here so with some ice I can make smoothies. I'm also doing tons of Water, gatorade G2, sf Jello and popsycles and knitting my 2nd sock to my pair, then going to finish a shawl for shop display...(I own a yarn shop) I will get thru this 1 drink at a time....thanks for your replies

If you use a computer you sign in and go to your profile or something like that. I had to do that.

Oh gaw! You guys making me scared for my preop diet!!! Lol!!! Can you take a appetite suppressant during that time??

I messed up more than a couple times...not too bad but what can you do. If we were all able to stick to a 2 week liquid diet we probably wouldn't be needing surgery. No suppressants.... my surgeon employs his own pharmacist and he said no. Some of them interfere with anesthesia.

      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!!
