    A Small Success

    u look good girl!
  2. Hello everyone I am scheduled for surgery on Wed. 4/15. I was to do Optifast for a week- but I cheated all throughout- instead of doing 6 shake a day, I would do 2 or 3 and then eat. I didn't do as bad as I could have but lots of Snacks..candy and chips during the week. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be Clear liquids only. I pray all will be fine and I am buckling down all day today. I am on vacation all week so all i am going to do is stay in the house, have my tea, lemon Water, SF Jello and SF popsicles..I also have some dieter's laxative senna tea. I will probably go to bed early and just expect all to be fine. BTW, I am about 314#. My highest wt is 328. Any suggestions for surviving the clear days? I am starving and tired now.
  3. I made it!!:rolleyes2: So I'm walking into the hospital yesterday morning and lo and behold who is behind me but my lovely petite little surgeon- Dr Wynn! She said Hey are you ready? I said Yes, but I am nervous because I cheated on my Optifast. She smiled jokingly and said Shame on you. Then she said Ok I will see you soon.... So anyway I went in to the prep area and got on the scale. I was 305.1!! HELLO! That means a 9.5 pd. drop in 12 days....with the cheats - so imagine if I didn't cheat. Anyway, I had a hiatal hernia which she fixed. I did not get all the painful gas feelings until today. I am on Vitamins, Lovenox- a blood thinner I have to inject myself each day with, and some medicine for my gall bladder. Who knew this band would entail so many little extras? I am so mindful of what I can out in my body because already I have experienced the painful tightness that comes from drinking Water too fast. Anyway, thanks for your input everyone and I am happy to finally be a bandster:thumbup:

    Surgery Tomorrow!

    Me too Shannon...I can't wait till 8 am tomorrow!
  5. Thanks for everyone's replies. I made it through day 1 of clears- tea, lemon water, 2 jellos and a popsicle for a total of 25 calories. I got outside and walked some with my daughter too. My scale is down 5# since Sat. so I think I may be okay. I didn't call my doc's office. I think I will be okay because I think I still kept my calories reasonable throughout the week. Wish me luck everyone....tomorrow is my big day!!
