I have Optifast that I did not use as my surgery date was change and the hospital sent me extra. I have 12 chocolate and 8 vanilla the usual cost would be $51.20 from Optifast ($92 for 36 shakes or $2.56 each). I will sell all 20 for $30 plus shipping. Please reply to this message if you are interested.

I am in week 3 post op and don't feel like eating nothing seems appetizing this week and I am nauseated. Any suggestions? I am so tired of Protein Shakes that each time I take a sop I feel sick again.

Would someone care to post the ricotta bake recipe. I haven’t heard of it.

I mage our and it was awesome. I used those aluminium foil single serves dishes. Spray with non stick spray. Mix 15 oz lite rocotta cheese and 1/3 cups light parmesan top with marina or spaghetti sauce 3 tblspn and bake for 30 min at 350. There are many variations of this on line.

Thank you everyone.

I ended up having an ice Rooibos with 2 scoops of tea, 2 pumps of sugar free vanilla Syrup, no fat milk, extra ice and extra Water. It tasted great and did not bother my stomach at all. I researched the menu before I met my friend and knew what I wanted to order before I arrived.

Thank you for the advice.

Thanks for the advice.

I too feel hungry I had surgery on June 10th and if I eat even Soup that is too thick I feel nauseous. So I find I haven't been eating enough at all

Thanks Carrot64. I went back on track yesterday and have decided I'm not going to put myself in a situation where I can't control myself. I I think part of the problem is that I was fasting for 3 days as my surgery was scheduled for June 3rd and then it was rescheduled for June 10th and then I was able to eat for another three days had to start all over again. so I'd gone through three days of not eating and being on track when my surgery changed and was upset and frustrated

Bulletwithbutterflywings, thank you for the encouragement I have been beating myself up all night. Thinking what the hell am I doing I am having major surgery on Monday and if I can't do this I am setting myself up for failure. Today I am going to get back on track and work hard at drinking Water. I too like that saying and am going to see if I can

somehow set it up on my phone as a reminder this week.

You know what honey, these things happen. Cant beat ourselves up over it. Just dust yourself off and pick up where you left off. You CAN do this. I promise. Cheating can be harmful if you go nuts and cheat all day every day but one or two slip ups can happen. Just smile, remember you got this, and a quote I saw somewhere stuck with me because I'm a nighttime binge eater, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I prefer "nothing tastes as good as healthy feels". But either way. You have us to help keep you upbeat

Yes but I have cheated and am now worried about it.

OMG thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. I don't understand why people that think that they can treat us like that. I too have been through depression and I'm still on meds hopefully I can get off those someday.

I don't know why some surgeons let you have small meals each day While others like in Ontario make you not eat at all. I don't know how you did this for a month did you cheat? I went to a barbecue on the weekend on while I sat inside when everyone ate I did have a few nachos with some homemade guacamole. And one evening last week I had Tomato Soup and crackers. I have a stomach ache and diarrhea and have had to start taking Imodium. I think part of the problem is I'm not drinking any Water cuz I find it I have to remind myself.

My mom's side of the family is all bigger and several my family members have had the surgery. I haven't shared my journey with anybody in my family yet although I suspect once they start seeing new pictures of me y'all guess what happened.

My dad had many forms of arthritis and died at age 65. I have osteoarthritis severe in my hands which sucks because I use a computer all day at work.

Congratulations on your successful Journey so far and thank you very much for the nice words sharing your intimate stories.

When I started the fasting I had questioned my decision but I too feel like what I've done so far in the past hasn't worked and I'm not going to live forever.

I find the story encouraging and I'm glad I took this first step towards sharing my story.

I am 58 years old and have had a lap band for 11 years. The fact that I am in this forum shows that I was not successful and have now gone through a year of analysis to see if I qualify for bypass surgery. My surgery day is June 10th and I have one week of slim fast under my belt. Needless to say I am HUNGRY. Unlike some other places I have not been allowed any meals and can have 4 shakes a day along broth and sugar free Jello. I have decided to post a pic I took today and even though I would never have approved it for publication I want to be honest.
