Well day 3 of my Optifast out of my 4 weeks. I am struggling today I took a nibble of my 3 yr Olds pizza like a tiny nibble. Is this going to affect me?? I feel so guilty so so guilty. It's not going to happen again!! Please no judgement I just want to know I'm not a complete mess up.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done. Feed my kids and not eat with them. My will power is being tested.

I don't think 1 nibble is going to kill you - if it was really just a nibble. Get back on your pre op horse, and just remember that 3 days post op a pizza nibble could cause a leak, which could kill you.

Thank you. Absolutely it was definitely a nibble lol the second I did it I regretted it. I can and will do this. Life's to short to live it the way I have been I am young with kids they deserve a better me

@@khuuxo This may be one of the hardest things I've done. It sucks but if you get through this just think of how much better off you'll be post-op. You'll already have good control over food rather than it controlling you. If there's anything other than shakes you can have - prepare and have them readily available. I can have broth so I've made my own (tastes much better than store bought). If you can have sf jello - make sure to have some in the frig. While my SO is eating his supper - I'll have broth. He feels horrible but it's okay - this is only temporary - I can handle it! You can too! 4 weeks seems like an eternity but it'll go by fast and get you started off in the right direction. A nibble of pizza is not going to harm you pre-op. Anymore than a nibble and you may trigger even more carb cravings. Stay strong!!!

Thank you for your understanding. Kudos to you for eating with your hubby even though you can not have what he's having. I can have sf Jello and broth as well what a good idea I will save my cup for supper time.

I am determined. But I question so much of how determined when that instinct and habit of picking while I cook or when my son is done his plate lol. This is sooooo different and really breaking habits. I am addicted to food and I never realized that more so than now by being on this diet.

When is your surgery?

Hi!

I'm doing to assume you are in Ontario if you're having to do optifast. I'm in Peterborough and had my surgery oct 3. I had 3 weeks of optifast and alao had to prepare dinner for my hubby and 2 year old. It sucked. The whole time. Being at work was better then at home. It took me a long time to figure out the spacing to help curb the cheating at dinner. I would have my 'dinner' shake at 3pm so I wasn't so hungry preparing dinner and then have my 'snack' shake after everyone was done or just as they were finishing dinner. Honestly I still have almost a whole case left, that's how much I sucked at it. I do wished I could have done better. Telling myself it is a prescription and the goal is to reduce my liver helped. Just do your best. They never even asked me how the diet went when I went in for surgery. Just saying. Good luck. Oh and as for now, so much easier. I can cook and I don't even care if I eat anything. Just not hungry.

Yes I am in Ontario belleville !

Today is better day 4 and don't seem hungry this morning. I have been eating broth and Jello when they have they're meals . I am definitely telling myself I have to do this... it's for the better right!!

How are you feeling my surgery is Nov 7

Belleville, nice!! Yes, it is for the better. Surgery and recovery will go so much smoother by following the diet.

I feel great! Everyday since surgery gets noticeably better. I will let you know, the first 36-48 hours were hard, but the staff and nurses I had were amazing. Take your pain meds BEFORE you need them. When I wasn't sure if I was in pain or nauseous, I just asked for both! Walk as much as you can. You'll do great! I can tell by how well you're doing now :-)

@@khuuxo My surgery is Tuesday (10/18). It can't come soon enough!!! I'm allowed 5 shakes a day but don't usually drink more than 3 (sometimes only 2). It would make me feel alot better if the weight was melting off - but it is still up and down (fluctuating) daily. I'm actually surprised at how well I've done on the liquid diet - I never thought I'd be able to do it. It is not easy by any means but I haven't even turned into a miserable b*tch (yet!!). lol I don't have children but a few times I was tempted to sneak a piece of chicken I give to my dogs. :-)

Thank you!! I am soooo nervous lol. Where did you have your surgery done? I am going to st Mikes in Toronto.

No judgement here. Optifast is tough. I've just done 2 weeks and have 1 week to go. My surgery date is 21st October.
