You guys are doing great!!! Keep it up. Andrew, I think you'll be happily surprised by the amount of weight you'll lose just on opti-fast. I started out about the same weight as you, and after 3 weeks of opti-fast I was down 24 lbs. Plus they say men lose weight faster!!!

Good Going DeltaDawn!!!!

Sheep are all about manners!! LOL Do you guys see my ticker??? I just see an X, whats up with that???

Ohhh, did we forget to tell you that opti-fast destroys brain cells, ooops. lol

OMG!!!! What, you just coughed chocolate drink all over US!!!!!! The nerve!!!! YUCK!!!

Ya, Pizza Pizza delivers anywhere, even to the surgery room!!!

I used Benefibre every day on my pre-op and even now I'll use it now and then. I like it because it is powery and it has no taste, no smell, and blends completely invisible. It works good, but make sure you drink tons of water too.

Green, thats fantastic!!!! WTG girl!!!

The hunger will absolutely go away. I remember on day 6 or 7 I only had two shakes that day, I just couldn't do the third shake. That sounds funny. Really I think your tummy shrinks quickly. Hang in there, take some advil, chew on celery, whatever you gotta do. Be strong!!

Good Luck to you all!!! Dame J, I'm not sure how to blend it for work. I once tried it without the blender and it wasnt very nice. Are those magic bullets small? To all of you guys, after the day 3 headache, you are going to start to feel real good and the weight will start coming off too. Hang in there!!!

Bandiva, glad you got your fill. Be very careful in the next few weeks. That baby may kick in anytime and catch you off guard. Thats a big fill. Just be careful.

susieq, you are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your info, you must be sooo pleased.

Hmmmmmmm:suspicious:, what are you implying Hugi. lol Can those people change there flights or are they out money??

Welcome bck Khrissy. Were did you go on your cruise??

Wow Mandi, almost to 100 lbs lost, holy crap!!!! Just try picking up 100 lbs!!:faint:

WTG Yasmina, 1 day gone !!!!

I promise, just a teeny weeny. I think I have just become to good at chewing, everything goes threw to quick, unless of course I'm not paying attention, then I'm pbing.

Hey, I PB'd green gatorade once, on Hallowe'en day no less. Flourescent green slime, nothing quite like it!!!

I made a spare-of-the-moment decision today. I booked a fill for this Monday. I'm so sick of weighing 264. I think I'm just gonna get a teeny weeny fill, like maybe .2, to bring me up to 1.8. I have restriction, but I'm hungry two hours later.

Oh Man, Dr. C goes on his website!!! I didnt know that, how cool. When does he go on, any particular time???? Your talking about 'the surgical weight loss forum, right???? I hardly ever go there, I don't seem to get much out of it.

LOL:hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: , here kiddys.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! No hope about it. You can do it. Just keep telling yourself its just a few days. Then don't forget, you can always come here and vent away.

You should really get the surgeon or even your GP to give you liquid codiene. Man that stuff is good. I was stupid and threw mine out after, since then there have been many times I woulda liked to have been in that codiene world again.lol.

Astrotoes, I only told immediate family, and I was lucky they were very supportive, oh ya I told one friend I could trust. Everyone else I told a few months post-op, and quite a few pounds later. I kinda wanted people to see it was working before I told them what I did. Now, I'm an open book. I tell everyone. I've even given out half a dozen pamphlets. Good Luck everyone with there pre-op diet. Lots starting this week. Enjoy your last supper, but remember, you'll still get to eat it later, just not bucketfulls!!

Fantastic Mandi!!! You look great!!! I love the double pair of jeans pic, very cool!!
