Today is my first day of my 12 day slimfast only diet and I was just wondering the same thing. Hopefully others will give their input as well. It is only 1130 and I'm already having a hard time but VERY committed to sticking to it! I figured the first few days will be the worst as I detox from all the bad foods I ate last week.

I have my initial surgeons appt next monday, so one week from today! I had to loose 5% of my body weight for my insurance to pay for the lapband, which was 15 pounds for me. I have already lost 5 pounds, painfully slow over the last several weeks, but I have 10 more to go. I decided to go on a liquid diet for this week to hopefully get the last 10 off by Monday. If I do succeed, I will be able to schedule surgery right away and will hopefully be banded in August! If I dont succeed, I will have to go to my local doctor and have my weight loss documented by him and the process will take longer...

I decided to do slim fast/ sugar free carnation instant Breakfast and some fruit to get me through the week. I might give up fruit in a day or too if I can stand it. Its so helpful knowing that I am not the only person going through this. We can do it, I know we can! I created a sort of "tunnel" vision for myself where I am just not thinking about anything other than next monday and weighing in and knowing that I did it! :whoo:

I'm having a difficult time on my two week diet. I had two do two slim fasts and one frozen entree last week and this week all liquids. My surgery is scheduled for a week from today and I've cheated every single day. It's really tough. I'm going to try my very best to stay with it this week - I really have no choice.

Georgia Girl you're in my favorite city in the world! I go to Tybee Island once a year and just love Savannah.

I am on day 13 of clear liquids- lost 10 pounds. I lost 12 pounds in the few months before, though. Today I am doing my bowel prep- it is not a good time. Needless to say, I will be home all day!!!!!!!! My surgery is Monday. It came so fast! Starting to get a little nervous...

Its hard but if you cant get through two weeks...what are you going to do when you want to cheat after surgery? Its better to get committed to this ASAP! Good Luck! I hope you do great!

Girls, I only lost 8# on two weeks of Optifast -- only 800 calories per day and yes the first three days were tough but I MADE IT and you can too. It does get easier. I had the choice of 2 different bars, Soup? ?, and a Protein Drink. You can doctor up lots of things to make it taste better.

Good Luck! and you can do it! After the first week of the band you will know how much better you feel and will be glad you did this

So do the Dr's just want you to loose weight? Or is there something with the liquids only? I would really like to know more!

I lost about 12 pounds in 14 days. However, I was supposed to have 3-4 Slim Fasts and 3 servings of fruits & milk per day & I had a hard time sticking to the diet. I guess I could have done better, but that's a tough diet for 2 weeks. :faint:

That is great. I just wonder why they want you to have liquids? How would they know if you did liquids or just dieted? Did they explain that to you?
