Hi all,

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement. I really appreciate it.

You were all right, I called my dr and his nurse said not to eat anything except green veggies and optifast and lots of water. Today is a lot better for me, I'm not as hungry and I have no headaches but day 2 and 3 were killer! I'm keeping my eye on the prize and aiming to be a successful "looser" like you guys! Thanks again and I will continue to drink strong!

Good job!! Eventually a three-day fast becomes child's play...really.

Its torture isnt it? I couldnt hack it!

Be strong Mary Ann! You can do it! I mean, after all, you are Mary Ann

Have a great rest of the week

I am so glad things are going better for you. It will be so worth it when you sucessfully get your band.

Good for you, Mary Ann! Keep your eyes on the brass ring!

I had to do optifast for 3 weeks:omg: ! The first 2-4 days were awful. I litterally spent all my extra time in the bedroom with the TV. It's tough, but it is totally worth it. My surgeon said he was concerned before my surgery if I hadnt done the optifast properly, but when he was inside he said he knew I had followed the diet because everything was perfect and made surgery a breeze. It is totally worth it to stick to it. I posted little stickys on the cupboards representing each day I had left till surgery, it gave me great pleasure to rip one down each evening. The day of the surgery you'll be sooooo proud of yourself, it's a great way to start. Good Luck!!!
