I hear ya there I like straight and forward answers dont beat around the bush.

You know everyone keeps asking me how much my doctor wants me to lose before surgery and he never gave me a amount but I lost quite a bit on my fast.

Stay strong how long do u have to be on? Today is my last day I jyat did 4 weeks if I can do it u can to jus stay strong I will b praying 4 ya. I didnt start having trouble till three and a half weeks in then I was ready to eat everything around me, we jus gotta keep our munds occupied

Congrats

Mother nature sure can show up at the most inconvenient time, she just left two weeks ago I got surgery on monday and she's back. Not happy about it.

Im really ticked when I had my period last month around this time when it was due to end I started my liquid diet which was Opti Fast. Well I was on for for an additional two weeks because of the fast (says the surgeon's office) so I've only been off for about two weeks and here it comes again, and im having surgery on Monday this is the last thing I wanted to be dealing with while in the hospital. I guess it wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt so heavy but lately it's been ridiculous. Mother Nature sure knows how to show up at the most inconvenient time.

2mara will b my last say of Opti Fast YAY ME. Surgery on Monday

3 days to go

I cant wait for Monday to come im not rwally nervous but probably more anxious.

Congrats and mines is the same day what time is yours

My mom was the youngest of nine kids so big meals was prob made, I remember her once saying (when I was young) "she didnt kno how to make small meals cuz the household she came from was large" my mom had two kids but cooked more than necessary, no doubt she herself growing up in the 60's & 70's prob heard THE SPEECH a million times.

Does any one else here feels like the way their parent's treated food may have affected your eating habits now? OK I'm not saying it's your parents fault that we are overweight, but okay I grew up in a household that whatever was put on your plate you ate it, and we got the " do you know how many people out there starving" speech. I think the problem is that (atleast for my generation) is that to much food would be on the plate and regardless if your full or not your made to eat all of it. I think that's why I would eat even when I was full because I grew up and did the same thing put too much food on my plate and in the back of my mind it's "like you know how many starving people are out there". I know when my kids were little I watched their portion sizes but I find myself now give them more than what they probably need but I guess I deliberately do that because my kids are really little but I have to think to myself I was once their size when I was their age so no I gotta break the cycle. The crazy thing is I can't tell you how many times I have given the "starving people" speech. Lol

I've been on my liquid diet for 22 days now and I realized that I was somewhat of a human garbage disposal I found myself yelling at my kids for tryna feed me their food then I realized they are doing what they have always done. Nothing with them has changed but now that I'm changing I have seen some of my bad habits and they all have to END NOW.

Thanx ME TOO I don't ever wanna see options fast again. Lol

22 days down and 5 more to go of my liquid diet. I didn't struggle really until last week I was so hungry just like today and I know it was all in my head I think I just wanted some food I could chew and I don't mean sugar free popsicles or mints I mean food. I'm just tied of tasting this Opti Fast And it don't make it no better when I got 2 kids to cook for and I have to make their food.

Oh yeah blood pressure and Water pill, usually if it is a blood thinner or things on that line u have to stop so u wont bleed easily when your on blood thinners it makes it hard to stop bleeding medicines like coumadin even aspirin is a blood thinners. I just looked at the list and birth control is on it.

Im not on the pill but my dr took me off everything but my blood pressure & acid reflux med, mite b sumthin n it they dont want mixed with surgery meds my surgeon gave me a whole 4 page list of medicines that we could not take within 10 days of surgery and the only thing the paper said was take blood pressure meds with a sip of Water the morning of surgery.
