I did the optifast for 1 week. It consisted of 5 shakes/bars per day. I was allowed to add fruit to the shakes to make them thicker. I lost about 6-7 lbs.

Congratulations and good luck on your journey.

<br /><br /> I heard so much of about the wendy's chilli from this board, so I finally went got some last week. It was delicious. It's not spicy at all. They give you a packet of spicy sauce if you want to use it.

Unfortunately my Y only offers 1 on 1 or group training. I don't know anyone in my area, so getting a deal on the group training is out. Oh well, I'll see how my funds are and take it from there. Thanks!

Anyone have to do the Optifast HP pre-op diet?
Blaze21 replied to ShelleyB's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I did the 1 week optifast back in June of 2008 and was able to put fruit in the shakes and blend them up. It was definitely had the first few days but I was able to stick it out. I even lost about 8 lbs on it. Good luck! -

We don't get the girl scouts selling cookies where I live. Thank goodness for that. -
That's a good idea. I will look for some in my area. Also my support group has a clothing exchange, I'll look into that as well. Thanks!

I have a magic bullet and it works great. There's always some noise with these appliances. I use my mb everyday for my shakes and smoothies.

My mom has told me once again that I need to put on a belt or get smaller jeans. I do wear a belt, but I cannot afford to buy jeans at every size as I lose weight. She does wait a while to mention it though, so maybe it's time to buy a smaller size. :tongue:

Drinking water during and after meals...
Blaze21 replied to rcruz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I do make the mistake from time to time. Today I was eating something I wasn't supposed to be eating and had a small gulp of water and I choked everything up. This was totally my fault because I was doing wrong on all levels. Just be careful not to drink at least 30 minutes before a meal, during a meal, and at least 30 minutes after. At least for me that works, when I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. -
Hi Kelly, Your surgeon should give you a meal plan for the weeks that follow your surgery. Every doctor is different when it comes to the post op liquid diet.

I don't actually miss fast food because I never was a heavy fast food eater. I do occasionally get my chick fil a nuggets and mcdonald's fries, but that's only on occasion. I do crave grilled chicken salad and have a little bit of a hard time eating it now.

Paying for the band (student loans?)
Blaze21 replied to libguy2753's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
In order to do this you would have to take out a private student loan. I've seen a lot of commercials where I am(PA) offering up to $40k in student loans. I personally have medicaid, so that's how I got my band covered. I couldn't possibly justify taking out a student loan to pay for this surgery, my tuition is high enough and I'm in student loan hell or at least I will be when I graduate -
Exercises for flabby arms....actually for whatever the area under the bicep is called

Tricep dips are good -
I was in gnc yesterday and saw it. The container looked rather small for the price they wanted, but it's made by designer whey. I've never used designer whey products.

Being that my band is so finicky(sp), my surgeon suggested that I supplement my protein with shakes when I can't get food down or get food to stay down.
