OPTIFAST AND ME

I hope everyone who chances on this blog has had a wonderful Christmas. This year all the family came home along with my mother, aunty, brother and sister. We have had a great time together and our last visitors left an hour ago, so peace ,quiet and a little time to work on this journal.
I started optifast 4 days ago. I haven't been too hungry but tired and grumpy. Has anyone else had headaches and general pains from this stuff?
I hate not eating good food. Optifast is satisfying hunger wise but not anything else. Boring and tastes yuk, SOO here's how to jazz it up. Replace it with lean meat and a piece of fruit - OOPS , not allowed. OK ice cubes - 1 tray plus peppermint or orange essence works with chocolate flavour. Vanilla plus frozen berries, ice cubes and equal OR half a sachet of port wine jelly-lite works.
10 DAYS TO GO.

Getting serious about weight loss surgery

Optifast is awful. I tried to start using it early - BIG MISTAKE. i HAVE DECIDED TO START IT ONLY WHEN i HAVE TO. Boxing Day!!!! Nevermind the family are behind me and to my surprise have not had any anti op comments.
I haven't told my friends. What am I afraid of ?

Well, I'm back again with 5 weeks to go until surgery. I've just ordered the Optifast online, and

am psyching myself up to using it - not looking forward to this part of things.

We are moving to a new town 8 days post surgery so I am going to be busy, busy ,busy.
