Starting a liquid diet
I'm in day two of a medically supervised, liquid meal replacement program (Optifast). I had my entrance physical on Wednesay and was shocked to discover I now tip the scales at 306! and my blood pressure was 170/96. How disgusting! I've been on only Optifast for two whole days. So far, so good. I have 5 Optifast formula servings a day- that is the minimum for me, according to the dietician- 800 calories. She would like to see me at 6 per day, or as many as I need not to eat 'real food'. I'm determined to get down to a healthy weight- and to avoid gastric bypass surgery.
