| guys - are you remembering to have a Berocca Performance everyday - no kidding will help give you back your BBBBBB bounce............... and it helps with those mood swings from deprivation.......... cheers K | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| trixie, hang tough love, it's for a good cause.... the extreme-ness of the optifast does two things, it helps get the extra s h i t out of your system, that makes you feel blah, but in doing so..has so many more effects I know..... but it also shrinks your liver, cause that sucker is in the way, the top of your stomach where the surgeon needs to put the zippy tie, is behind your liver, so the healthier your liver is for the op, the safer it is for you, as it needs to be lifted during the proceedure... also it kick starts your weight loss journey, and for the first time ever - you know all the effort will be worth it, because it aint't never coming back!!! Take strong head ache tablets and drink lots of water, the headaches can be associated with carb/sugar/caffiene withdrawals also - so munch some vege's instead - or drink, drink, drink water, diet jelly is good too!!

| Oh my god - I got my op date yesterday (yay) and then he told me I have to do Optifast for a MONTH!!! (aaarrrgh!) NOT looking forward to it. I have gone on those liquid diets before and it makes me psychotic. I get soo depressed and moody and get killer migraines to top it off. Anyone else experienced this and have some helpful tips? Maybe I could be put into an induced coma for a month and they can drip feed it to me?! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| poo wee's is funny! day 7 optifast for me. Only 8 days till my op. I really want to chew something. It's strange but the foods I think about eating are not the chocolate, smarties, savoury shapes and bread and butter but the ordinary everyday foods. Things that I could eat on a low calorie diet like egg on toast, mashed potato, feta cheese,olives, sundried tomato......well mostly things I could eat on a low cal diet. It would be quite nice to have a few wines too. My shameful secret. I really enjoy my coffee shakes. I look forward to them cos I'm hungry but I really enjoy the taste too. *standing by to be ridiculed* jackie lizzie we are nearly there. countdown. j |

| Hey everyone, I just started the Optifast stage on Monday. Gee it's pretty tuff stuff. I'm not sure if I can hold out until the 21st of next month, which is the day of my op. I don't feel as bad reading everyone else's stories here. Goodluck all! ;o) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh Lizzie! Yes,yes and yeeeees to the no.2 Q!!! My 6 y/o son was waiting to use toilet last night when I was in there and he started giggling at the sound!!!He has given them a name.....He calls them poo wee's! LOL (sorry if thats too gross!) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ok, gross question of the week goes to lizzie.... are your guys number two's like water? is anyone else like me and have absolutely no energy? i'm on day 9, where is my booster???? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh, Lord. That's bizarre. I just had my breakfast shake and actually thought to myself, "You know, that actually tastes okay." Hopefully today will be easier. I made a heap of diet jelly last night (raspberry and lemon/lime) and I've got Bonox to try (not sure what I'll think of that). So today I'm committed to just getting through on the Optifast. Cat |

| LOL, i was so desperate for something savoury last night that i heated up some vege stock (99% fat free)and sipped it like soup-at first it was nice second time round yuck. Going to buy some soups today. Sherrie |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OMG!!!!!! SHERRIE!!!! Literally 5 mins ago I said the *EXACT* same thing to my hubby!!!! My husband, who did the optifast before his surgery, said that after a few days your body stops fighting it and starts to accept the opti and it does start to taste good! He said around day 3 of his opti he thought the spring veggie soup was the yummiest food in the WORLD!LOL |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi all, Must be going crazy, just had opti choc shake for breaky and thought ummmm this is quite nice...lmao. Sherrie |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| And to you Cat, we will survive (as the song goes). lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well, at least I'm not alone. Good luck these next few weeks, Penny. Cat |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I made heaps of meals last week and put them in take away containers and put them in the freezer because I don't think I could cope with having to cook up a nice meal every night and not have any. Penny |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cat, I'm on the Gold Coast and yes started optifast yesterday, so I have survived for 2 days. Its not the easiest thing I have ever done either. Penny |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes hubby at footy training tonight but he can't cook (only bbq's well) doesn't really bother me, used to it when i did tony ferguson, you will notice in another day or two you will feel alot better and taking shakes won't bother you as much. sherrie |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Penny Where are you being banded? Have you started the Optifast yet? Cat |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cat, I'm on 14th Feb so not too far apart either Penny |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| lol..its amazing, tonight I could smell the neighbours cooking dinner! Do you have to cook for your kids? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Sherrie, Yes, I noticed we're only a day apart (just posted you about that on the vitamins thread). Bring on February 12th! Cat |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Penny, Its going so so at the moment, just had a shake about 20mins ago but kids are eating dinner so feeling abit hungry but just drinking water to fill up. The weirdest thing happened today i was laying on my bed this arvy as had a headache one of my kids come in (had eyes closed) i said" you have been eating corn chips), she said how do you know, i could smell the bloody things...ahhhh starvation..lol Sherrie |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks Jenn, I had a tiny bowl of diet jelly last night and felt like it was heaven lol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes I had diet jelly most days when I was in the mad insanely hungry stage, and I guess tinned tomatoes are okay, just watch the saltiness of them, as they might make you retain fluid. The first few days are the absolute worst, I agree Jenn |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Zekenme Hugs back. Thanks very much I needed that. Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm trying not to be although I know exactly what you are saying - yep, I feel like the biggest, fattest fool in the world too. Damn bring on that surgery. Cat |
