I Have Lost 5 Pounds So Far

By jennilamb007

· 545 views

I have been on the pre-surgery Optifast 800 liquid diet for 3 days and so far I have lost 5 pounds. Being the third day today I have been struggling, but getting on the scale and seeing that drop has renewed me and I CAN DO THIS. So, while everyone at work is eating popcorn, chocolates and so forth, I am happily munching on my sugar free strawberry jello and thinking happy thoughts of this 5 pound loss and my surgery date on December 22nd. 2012 is going to be a great year.

 

Take care,

Jen

    Great job Jen, I am on the same page. I am on day three of my liquid diet and my surgery is 12/22. It has been hard but where I am trying to get to has been my motivation! Congratulations on your success.
