Right.
My story goes like this: 26, engaged, previously 97kg, got down to 68kg from with the assistance with Cohens. I moved interstate and with weather changes being dramatic, i put on weight (fluid) but some is weight weght. Up to 77kg. I range from 74-77kg. I am now commensing Optislim. I am unsure as to if its the right one for me since its dramatically low calories- 800. Thats if u use the 3 meals a day. Im using the 2 sachets and then have my main meal. If i cope well with the 2 i can then change to the 3 in a wk or so. But, its expensive to do. I am lucky we have a chemist who does 2 for $55. Almost a mth worht for the 2 sachets.Im not too fussed- as long as it works.
Main Reasons- I have become bloated and several episodes of severe abdominal pain resulting in a collapse mid-air on the wkend which drs cant find cause for. Not sure if a gall bladder issue- they dont think so. I thought if i could drop at least 10kg, i might help this pain, i might feel a lil less bloated. Im 5'6 and should be around 60-62kg. I wld ideally like 65kg.
Also i am going in for my 3rd knee recon + patella realignment in October so i wld like to get as much excess weight off as possible as i need to limit overusing the leg and the less weight i am carrying the better. Esp for crutches usage and a dodgy shoulder is going to be difficult in addition to any excess weight i dont really need to have. Been there and done it before so i kinda have some experience. I do however have concerns that i have been told to eat high protein and iron (lots of red meat and greeen vegies prior to surgery to assist with the healing) pre surgery and im not sure how this diet will affect it. Maybe i will go flat out until 2wks before the operation. Its around 3mths to the day (7days to go ) so that gives me what- 10wks to eat to lose then 2wks to eat to heal. Add some iron tablets too.
Goal: I wld ideally like to be 69-70kg by the end of July. I know its a big ask but with fluid tablets im norm 75kg so 5kg isnt al that much.
I am just a lil sick of buying clothes and a couple of week sthey dont fit me. Im in stuff from size 10 to size 14 and one pair is a 16. How can this be.... I dont over eat, if anything i skip meals whihch i think is half of my issue. Atleast with this Optislim I may regain a regular eating pattern. I guess i have nothing to lose except, a few $$ and the possibility to lose a few kg if it works. I just have to remember to be patient.
Anyone tried this shake process??? If so, i welcome u to tell me your experiences and any ideas u may have to get the results I want and so desperately need.
I was going to have MAIN meal at lunch but my fiance has said to have the main one at dinner- he is making a chicken soup. I am a lil bit torn. I can sit and have a shake while he eats. But i think he wants to share a meal not just the timeslot of sinner. I will get there. Just have to find a routine that fits.
Keep u updated. I will use this tool as a diary to get all my ideas, feelings and frustrations out. Hopefully i dont bore too many. Atleast if i vent here, i might actually help someone. If thats all i do, worth every minute spent writing it.
