| Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows if you can have diet cordial? My Dr said I could have no calorie drinks but Im not sure if this means I can have it or not?? Also tinned diced tomatoes?....getting really sick of the veg and came across a nice soup, but it has a tin of diced tomatoes in it..... guess it's not as bad as eating a whopper with cheese...which is what I really feel like!!! :) |

| Mel, Day two, biting heads off is to be expected! You'll find you'll get over it in a few days, just keep drinking the water and using whatever mantra gets you through. Pyretta |

| soon, The best advice I can give is keep focused on why you are doing it! If you feel overly emotional, or like you want to go on a bender, come here and vent. It's great for that. If you really want to eat, drink water, lots and lots of water. It really does help! Pyretta |

| Ha Ha Maybe this Opti is affecting me more than I thought I just read back my post, what a ramble. I hope you can make sense of it. |

| Hi Guys day 2 of Opti for me and I know what you mean Ash, I have been on a total food bender for the last 2 weeks, my excuse saying good bye to old friends, eg: KFC, a whole loaf of hot bread and tubs and tubs of ice cream. A bit edgy today and just about bit my families head off, hubby took the kids out for a bike ride so I would not kill anybody. I am used to about 5 or 6 cups of coffee a day so that is the hardest at the moment and we normally go out for Sunday brekky so avoided that today, might take some of the tips and add a bit of water, I find it too thick. Just munching on a piece of cucumber as I type, keep telling myself NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels. I think I can.... I think I can.... I think I can.... Mel |

| J.bone, There is a distinct difference between Optifast and Optislim. The nutritional and carb levels differ significantly. If you want to use the soups from Optislim I suggest you talk with one of your surgeons team and see if they allow it. Pyretta |

| Hi guys, I am on day 4 of Opti-stuff, and i have been looking around for opinions on OptiFAST VS OptiSLIM - and have basically come to the conclusion that they are both much the same. My question is, does anyone know of any issues with doing both at the same time?? I want to do OptiSLIM soups, and Optifast shakes. Would this cause any complications that anyone is aware of? I am fairly sure they are the same thing and it should be ok but i just want to make sure. Thanx :) |

| wjana, You should only feel hungry for a few days until ketosis kicks in. You will also be grumpy and may have a whopper of a headache. Make sure to take painkiller for the headache. Drink plenty of water. And warn your loved ones that the next 3 days are going to be hard. You'll probably become a bit emotional too. Once you get over the initial detox, usually about 3 or 4 days, you'll start feeling heaps better so hang in there. Pyretta |

| Hi This is my first message ever on the board. I am being banded on the 18th June by Dr. Donovan. I start my optifast tomorrow, i am so nervous about this. As you can guess i am not used to going hungry. I guess we will see |

| Hey Soon2b, if you DR allows sugar free treats try the DOUBLE D sugar free treats available from the Woolies and Price Line- they arent to bad for when you start to have cravings. They fake minties, carmel chews and hard fruit lollies They dont have any carbs =) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Soon, Talk to your surgeon about it. They may allow you to take one day off the Opti for your birthday, depending on how soon after it your surgery is. Pyretta |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| thanx pyretta_blayze_au will get on to it monday not looking forward to opti on my birthday lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| soon, I wasn't allowed any sugar free treats as they still contained a lot of carbs. Check with your surgeons team if they allow them and find out which they recommend. Pyretta |
