Day 2 Optifast

Mar 23, 2011

I'm not going to bore anyone with the minute details of my Optifast diet, but just to let people know that it is everything that you expected! Boring and no exciting food in your mouth and since I was always the person in charge of the kitchen, that is kind of hard to let go.

On the first day I had to blog and go on internet excessively to keep away from the fridge. One good thing is that on Day Two, I didn't even feel hunger for my first shake!!!! I took it because it was the time to take it--I have divided up my day--let me explain. I am awake for 16 hours a day and since I need to have 4 shakes I have divided my 16 hours into, you guessed it, 4 hour increments. Now I'm not a math major but it seems to work better this way. The only time I was hungry so far was Day 1 between my first shake and second, I was experiencing pangs of hunger and nibbled on some protein (some cold chicken). This took off the edge. I don't think I will have to do that today, as my hunger is getting less and less. I just went over my pre-surgery notes and I am supposed to take a Metamucil supplement with each shake, so I will head out to the store to find some. We don't want to be uncomfortable! lol

Another bonus: I have found myself going out to walk the dogs more (3 times yesterday) and even got on an exercise machine too!
