Hi I am in the second week of my pre op diet. Medifast 5 and 1 plan. I have to stay on it for a total of four weeks. I get my band on July 22nd. Mushies sound pretty good about now. At least it is working I've lost 7 pounds on it so far and 3 before it on my own.

Wow only 163 more to go.:tt2: I am going to look at it in small 10 pound goals along the way so it doesn't seem so over whelming .I joined the rec center today and swam laps for 30 minutes.

Today was my 1st day of liquids only. I have 9 more days to go. I'm having my surgery July 15th. I'm excited, and determined not to cheat on the liquid diet! Stay strong with me and keep in touch! :tt2:

We gotta hang in there. I know we can do it.

Hey Melody-I'm the same day & about 1 1/2 hours from Rockford. I'm going to Silver Cross in Joliet. Good luck!

I am on week 2 of liquids...it really has not been horrible..I guess I am in the right state of mind now! I have lost 13 lbs since June 25th on liquids I am just anxious for my surgery on Wednesday, it can't get here soon enough!
