New to Medifast (and to the forum)

  • My very first MF order is scheduled to be delivered by end of day tomorrow. Yay! I'm excited to get started. But, here's my question...

    I'm sick I recently came down with a sinus infection and, while it's getting better, I'm still feeling sub-par. I hear that the first few days of MF can be really tough so do you think it's better that I wait until I'm past this and back to feeling fully better to start or should I just go for it as soon as my order arrives?
  • My opinion is that you should wait until the infection is cleared up. Starting Medifast can indeed be rough, and because it's a low calorie program, your body probably doesn't need the added stress until you are well.

    And then you can go for it!

  • Welcome, Evilpink! I'm new both to this forum and to Medifast too! I just got my package yesterday. Here's hoping we both do well!
  • Welcome, Evilpink!

    I agree with Jay. I would wait until you feel good before starting Medifast. I'll go even furthur and suggest starting on a weekend, because you may not want to be at work thinking and dealing with people the first 2 days.

    And good luck! It gets a lot better after the first few days. Drink lots of water - it really does help! You can do it!
  • Thanks for the welcome, advice, and encouragement. I'm feeling better each day so hopefully by Saturday morning I'll feel well enough to start but if not then I guess I can hold off for bit. Shoot, been fat for the last 20 years, I guess a few more days won't hurt, LOL.
