    Thanks Argon & Irish Mist for your encouragement. You've done so well as have others & that keeps me going. Yes, the vanilla shakes are becoming a bit of a burden!! I try to have them when I'm in a rush.

    My last supper was pizza. I'm now on day 6 of Optifast. I'm on it for 3 weeks so quite a few more shakes to go. What helps is the weight loss as I've lost 12.5 lbs in the 6 days. Seems impossible but I'm one of those people who loose weight quickly but I also gain it quickly too. One lick of ice cream & I'm up two lbs!. Anyway, one day at a time is how I'm approaching this plus I know my fatty liver will be getting smaller as it needs to do. Must say, the shakes tasted a bit better in the beginning....now.... I'm actually looking forward to pureed food - how weird is that!!

    Hi Astrotoes & Argon Thanks for your messages. So, Astrotoes, looks as though you are "first up" on the 7th. From what Argon said it appears you'll be long gone before I even arrive. I come in from North of Toronto & will be staying at my sister's in the city. We will go through our journey together. You know I've been thinking about the PJ bottoms I bought yesterday. They are as ugly as sin so I might take Argon's advice & go in a pair of comft sweat pants. No wonder they were on sale for $6.00!!. Bye for now heather

    Wow! How great to get so many replies to my posting last night - thank you thank you. You really are a welcoming group. Astrotoes, my time is 1:20 on 7th Feb, when is yours? I know of two other people on the same day so that makes 4 of us. Today I got a call from the clinic saying I needed to bring a pair of PJ bottoms. (I wonder why no top...? oh,well) As I'm a nighty person I had to visit Pennington's only to find they had a 70% off sale. Got my "bottoms" for $6. I don't normally get a bargain. Oh, some fruit is OK in the Optifast. Total calories from fruit/veg not to exceed 225 per day. Heather

    Well, I've been lurking too so it's time to join in. I have my surgery on 7 Feb with Dr. Cobourn. I'm on day 2 of Optifast & have been using all the suggestions to make it more palatable so it's not too bad so far (early days). Everyone seems so supportive so thank you for that. Also, it's obvious from your weight losses that the band works! Looking forward to joining the group. I live outside Toronto. Heather
