    Okay, the scope is done and the Dr is now going to book my surgery date. I’ve got my Opti-fast and I’m waiting for the word to start chugging. Seeing the light at the end of this tunnel.. finally

    One week away from surgery... and one week of Optifast done... not going so bad...
    has anyone “cheated” during Optifast? I still good, but I feel by willpower crumbling a bit

    Wow you are so close!

    had 2 slip ups during my “optifast which in my case was diabetic boost” phase, on the first day I was starving and ate half a taco, then about a week and a half in I lost my cool for 5 minutes at ate a few tablespoons of pasta! To help curb those cravings I made crystal light flavoured popscicles and ate like 3 or 4 a day, it was on my allowed list! I also blended my chocolate boost with ice and instant coffee to make mochas! It didn’t really taste good but I pretended it did!
    Goodluck on your next week!
