WOOT!!! Congrats and I know you will do well. Keep us posted.

Well, I survived day one with only minor injuries. :-) Had 2 major food temptations at work on day one. One person brought 2 dozen donuts to work for the co-workers and my boss man brought in 2 homemade pies. EEEK!!! I managed to steer clear of them but man ole man was it a challenge. Anyhoo, day 2 is on now and I am chowin down on a choco bar right now. yum! :smile2:

Well, I finished up my day one last night with the Opti-Fast tomato soup and 2 sugar free popcicles. The tomato soup didn't dissolve as well as I would like so instead of pouring the power into the hot Water, tonight I will pour the hot water on top of the soup. This might help. As for taste....meh. I don't normally eat tomato soup to begin with. I can report that the shakes were all good and so is the choco bar that I eat for Breakfast. As for hunger, didn't have any yesterday. I did have that artificial sweetener after taste in my mouth at the end of the day. Didn't care for that so much. All in all, a good first day. Now... on to day 2. WooHoo!

Hiya, VIV! Yeah, coming to the end of day one. On my 3rd shake (vanilla) and will be having the soup tonight, a choco shake and 2 more Jell-o's and 3 popcicles. LOL. Figured might as well if I can. Not too grumpy although there is temptation all around. Someone brought 2 dozen donuts in today as well as 2 pies. EEEK!

Yep. They gave me tomato soup which I never eat to begin with. Might be swapping that out but seems like there is not a good alternative from the other soup choices.

I have to do mine for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I am on day one now. so far, so good. It is 2 pm and I have 2 OptiFast shakes and either the soup or a shake for dinner left for the day. My doctor is also allowing me 3 servings of sugar free jello and 3 Popsicles a day.

Yeah, I am allowed 3 servings of sugar free jello and 3 sugar free Popsicles every day. Yeah, no cheeseburger. Don't want to even think about that! hahahaha

I am telling most ppl I know for 2 reasons. 1) they will wonder why I am only eating soft foods for almost a month and 2) because they will wonder why I stopped drinking alcohol. LOL

will do. I accidentally already screwed up by eating Jello that was not sugar free. Thought it was but when I ate it.... it was obviously not sugar free. Did I stop? Well, of course not. I convinced myself that they did a very fine job of making their Jello without sugar. :-)

I would be satisfied to see my toes again. lol. getting banded in 2 weeks from today. WOOT!

Just had a strawberry shake for the first time. Not too bad. Left a little after taste.

I have been going to the Woodbridge office. However, if there is not much in the way of support groups for the banding there, I will consider Fair Oaks. Not terribly convenient for me as I live in Springfield. Let me know what u think about the Fair Oaks situation.

At least you can have mashed potatoes. :-)

Just having my first Opti-fast "meal" of the day. The choco bar. Not bad. very dense.

Oct 12th here. Let the banding commence!!!
