OMG....Musica73, those shake recipes sound delicious. My surgery date is tomorrow the 15th and I'm so over these Optifast shakes my Dr had me on. Once I'm on full liquids I'm sooooooo making your shake recipes. I keep going back and forth. The closer I get to surgery the more I'm like, Am I really doing the right thing? But then I look in the mirror and remember that I don't want to be this way any longer. I'm so thankful for everyone's comments on here, it makes me feel like I really can do this. Thanks everyone!!!

I'm scheduled for Aug 15th. My Dr is requiring 2 weeks Liquid Diet using only these Optifast shakes that I have to buy from their office. (Not cheap) Today is Day 4 and I'm struggling and worried. If I can't make it these 2 weeks before the surgery, what will it be like after surgery? I've already substituted one of the shakes for some cheddar cheese slices and yesterday. I substituted another shake for a baked sweet potato with no butter. Is that really horrible? The calories seem to be about the same as the shakes. *****Im starting to freak out a bit*****

I just saw him for my evaluation last week.......I had no idea he was a big guy before. That's awesome, I hate to listen to people who have always been skinny trying to tell me how to lose weight. Lol
