Optifast day one

Jan 18, 2010

Today I start my optifast. I have to be on it 2 weeks prior to surgery. I got the chocolate flavor. It's not too bad if you don't smell it so maybe I will drink it through a straw next time. I shook it up with ice because I thought making it cold would help it go down better. I'm still waiting on my Cardiac clearance tho. I hope they hurry up and call me so I will know if I should stop the optifast or not. If I don't get clearance by Jan. 27th they will have to postpone my surgery and I don't want that. I've been having stupid chest pains. The Cardiologist didn't seem to concerned because he thinks it is probably anxiety and obesity. He just told me to get out there and do some walking and see what happens. I did get chest pains but they stopped as soon as I sat down so I don't think it's any cause for alarm. Shoot I'm having them right now. My ECG looked fine according to the folks at St. Vincents so it's just a waiting game.
