Only my 2nd day on Optifast and I already blew it. I did not lose it really bad....just a piece of bread with a tiny bit of peanut butter on it! I just got so bloody hungry! I just had to come on and tell someone...confession is supposed to be good for the soul right? ha!

Terrilen This happens to all of us. keep your chin up and don't be too hard on your self! When are you getting banded! Was the optifast your presurgery diet?

Terrilyn, you did not commit a crime, you did not go on an all out binge, and you need to realize that you did nothing that needs confessing. I understand about admitting it to all of us on the boards, 'cause I think what you are also 'hungry' for are some hugs, so here they come:

((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))

Now I hope you feel better, you're doing a great job being on the Opti-Fast to begin with and making the choice to be banded is huge. You are really a worthy person and deserve to have your dreams filled. You can pm me anytime and if you want I will send you my number and we can talk. This is probably the most difficult time preparing for the surgery, so you may need to talk to someone who has already been through it. I would be honored to help if you need me.

Take care,

Cindy

Terri, I have a dumb question: Why are you on Optifast? Did your surgeon require you to lose some quick pounds before getting banded? Just curious.

Thanks Jamie, I will be banded the 26th of this month and yes the Optifast was the pre surgery diet. All this support is great! :}

Cindy, what a warm and wonderful response, I was really touched by you offering of support! I really enjoyed the HUGS!!! Thank you very very much!
