Thanks for that, I keep Crystal light Raspberry at my desk!

Day 1 on the Optifast drinks - One i am lactose intolerant, I hate anything milky so this is going to definitely be a struggle !!! I tried a bar to break up the taste of the shake and the bar tasted worse! The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I know I HAVE to do this in order to get to the surgery but my taste buds sure don't like ANY of it! I told the ladies in the office that I would rather eat nothing than drink shakes but they said it wont give me the same effect.... so here I am. THIS has got to be the worst part! Granted the drink doesn't taste that awful, it's just i hate anything milky or milk like in texture. Being a big baby and pouting, I just want to go grab a Breakfast sandwich and call it a day! Whining over

Congrats, happy 4 u

You are absolutely correct

It's really hard trying to make the right decision for your health and your sanity, only to have people put you down for it. But in life some people are never satisfied!!! My sis taught me that I could be the sweetest, juiciest peach ever made and theres still going to be someone out there who doesn't like peaches....thanks for all the feedback everyone Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Things people who aren't going through this don't understand * the joy of receiving the news that your insurance approved your request for surgery * the relief of passing a Psych exam * the anxiety you feel while you just WAIT..... Then you get your date and your elated You share the news and instead of Congratulations, you get....YOUR CHEATING! Why don't you just do it the old fashioned way? (Sigh) Things people who aren't going through this don't understand .....

I've been so excited since I received the news that my insurance approved my surgery!! I received a Feb 23rd date for my sleeve and today at work, I shared the news with a person that I thought would be supportive ---to my surprise I didn't get a Congratulations but a stern - You're cheating!! That doesn't count, why don't you do it the old fashioned way? I laughed it off and just walked away...if only they were in my shoes...they wouldn't be so quick to tell me I'm cheating ....I'm sure in their mind they are just trying to help, but those words don't help anyone at all

it goes by soooo fast! GL Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
