Enjoy it, you earned it!

Wow, what a hottie!

You look amazing!

Mine its October 18! I can honestly say I have done some serious fantasizing about food during this optifast liquid diet but just two more days and I can say I have not cheated a single time! Something to be proud of, I think. =) I have just be telling myself that soon at least some of my hunger will be abated, and perhaps I can start living my life a little less centered around food! I appreciate anyone's prayers for me Thursday.... To be quite honest I am a little scared.

Oct 18 for me. =)

Me too! Today is a rough day so far. I have 5 more days of my 14 day optifast liquid diet and I think I could eat three times my body weight right now....even the thought of just some veggies makes me salivate....lol. A few more days, a few more days and hopefully my tummy wont be hurting with hungry anymore.....lol Still though I refuse to give in to cheating because I want success more than anything! Cant wait for Thursday to get here! Best of luck to you!

I'm struggling with my two week liquid diet. They would like me to lose 12/13 lbs on this two week diet, and the first few days looked like this was going to be a walk in the park. Until yesterday when I only lost .2 lbs and then today when I got on the scale and to my horror had actually gained two back. Overnight no less. The hardest part is that I really have been a saint. A serious saint. Not one bite of anything that isn't allowed. Right now I would really just like to cry. I expected that if I really did this right that I would see some of the results i'm seeing from others on this site. I know I can't compare myself to others but it's hard to see people losing 20-30 lbs in two weeks and me sitting at 6 lbs a week in. I lost about 30 lbs in the months prior to this diet and i'm wondering if i'm just hitting that slowdown, but either way, I'm worried about this. Would love to hear from others that maybe had the same issue. Have a wonderful night! Jenny

Thank you. This helps me feel better!

I'm using that Opti-fast that they gave me... and it is high in sugars but 800 cal a day so puzzled for sure...

That's so funny, it gives your reply new meaning....lol. Seriously though, thank you for the reply. I have not had ant abdominal surgeries so perhaps I can avoid disrobing (yay!). Thanks for answering!

Besides allot of talking, what else should I expect during this surgical consult? Just wondering since I have mine Tuesday, along with physical therapy, nut, and psych consults... Any undressing required? Just wasn't to know what to expect. Thanks!

I'm from Waynesville and should be getting my sleeve sometime before the first week of November... Nice to meet you!

I am in the same boat. Have told only my boss and family, but will tell others that ask after the fact. I really just don't want to hear other peoples horror stories or opinions.... or frankly their shocked reactions. If someone asks me later though, I will be honest about it. I'm sure there will be plenty of gossip, but you know what? I really don't care, because hopefully by that point I'm going to be looking good and feeling great, so who cares? Let them talk!

Wow, you look fantastic! Bet that feels soooo good!

Good for you! I am so excited myself. My surgeon consult is October 2, but I'm self pay so should move quickly after. They are scheduling a bunch of other appts the same day so I'm so I can hardly wait to get this started!

Amazing. Good for you! Can't wait to have a closet full of clothes that don't fit. What an accomplishment! So proud of you!

Thanks for the info!

You look fantastic, and wow you are dropping fast! Perhaps I will be fortunate enough to have the same experience.

Thanks for asking, I had the same question. I see we have the same Doc as well.

You just need to eat less and get some exercise. No kidding...you want to tell them to strap on an extra 150 and see how long they can go.....or if they can even get off the couch!

I'm not sure but their number is 704_660_4584. They are super nice and I'm sure they could tell you what the options are.... I got a loan to cover all mine so i didn't ask that....

I agree. Anyone can lose weight on a diet of they stick to it BUT the problem we all pretty much share is that we can't keep it off.

Sorry, it didn't take my reply to your question. For self pay sleeve the self pay package is about 12,000.

Thank you. I am driving there tomorrow to attend the seminar. I am super excited to be getting going with this finally. From everything I read he is top notch.
