Just had some yummy sugar free jello. Must say that being able to have popsicles, jello and broth kinda makes this easier. I am still not liking the taste of optifast, but I am pushing through that because I only have to put up with it for 10 more days! I like the ready made optifast shakes(vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry). They come packaged in what looks like a juice box, so its good for on the go. The optifast creamy soup is good as well and I add a little extra chicken bouillon to make it a little more palatable. The shakes that come like a powder and you have to mix is not that bad, although not my favorite. I have a little hand mixer(like the bullet), and that helps. I mix it with a little ice and ice cold water. I find it hard to make them taste as good as the alrady mixed ones. I also bought three different boxes of the optifast meal replacement bars. Chocolate (which is my favorite), Berry yogurt bar(yuck) and Chocolate peanut butter bar(double yuck). I It was pretty expensive so I kinda have to eat the disgusting ones at some point. I am going to save those for the last couple of days!! So, I have gone from 272 to 265.2 in these last four days. I feel a bit more energetic than I thought I would be. Have been cleaning my house like a mad women so everything is in its place and ready to go for post surgery. Every morning I get up, it is getting easier to get in the mind set that is needed for this diet. :smile:

Hi - I am wandering about trying to figure out this sight. My surgery is scheduled for June 15th, so I am right behind you. I am trying to add protein shakes instead of full meals now - to a) loose the required weight before surgery and :thumbup: to get ready for the reality of the surgery. I weight 282 so we are close in the process and the goal.

Frankly, I am not sure how ever to get back to you but perhaps I'll learn. I sincerely really truly wish you well. I look at so many success stories and say - I can, I know I can I must. My personal email is bsayble@gmail.com - So far, I know of no other way to maintain strands of connections. Have you had surgery or just doing the prep? Here we go - I wonder what a year from now will look like?

Barbara
