Surgery 8/26
you can buy the eas at any walgreen pharmacy, just ask them to order them for you, an also at stop&shop in the nutrion section, the are gonna be expensive at gnc two for twenty dollars for a four pack. but stop&shop has them for five dollars eack so i get four packs for twentythree dollars, but the lasttime i bought them at walgreens they were seven dollars for four.just thought i let you know.good luck on your journey.sil

>:o~Damn Optifast Pre-op Diet~>:o
hi check online at any pharmacy, call walgreens, they have it online. or ask them to order it for you. trust me the doctor office can be expensive that,s why they want you to spend so much money. i know it is worth it if you have the money, but yes chech the pharmacy either online or give them a call.

What has weight kept you from doing?
hello let me see, i would love to bend down to tie my shoes,years ago we were all at the amusement park. everyone was waiting in line to get on the coaster, finally we got on an the bar would,nt click to close because of my stomach i had to get off the ride. an let someone else take my place how embrassing.an to walk by everyone that was still in line waiting for a turn.i just walk away.what an episode. i would love to cross my legs an be able to do a lot of active things in life.
