Today, only day 3 of this pre op diet, I was starting to lose it. I was doing really well for the first part of the day but then we had to go out to take xmas card pics. Ughhh. Then we went to 2 diff stores looking for that Torani sugar free syrup and no one had it. This is why I didn't want to leave the house. I'm miserable. I'd kill to eat something normal. So as we were in the checkout counter and I see a bag of sunflower seeds. I thought...what if i just chew the entire seed and then spit it out? Thats what I usually do anyway. I like the way it taste when i pop the whole thing in my mouth instead of splitting it open to get the seed inside. So thats just what I did.
I sat and watched tv and chewed sunflower seeds and spit them out. Swallowing nothing but the salt. Can I just tell you that this was SOOOOO good! SO satisfying and I felt normal for that one hour. Now, I didn't really break the rules but that was more salt than I probably should eat in one seating. A whole bag. lol.
What do you guys think? I'm drinking a bunch of water now to counter act the salt.

i'm been cheating like crazy but it's my third week so i'm craving big time
keep it up though, you just need to persevere and you'll soon be able to eat again!
When I had to do my three four weeks of optifast, my biggest problem was salt cravings. My little cheats would be eating pickles or pepperoncini. I'm not advocating this, of course. Just wanted to let you know it's totally normal. Hang in there.
