nice doggie. We have 2 corgis. A pem and a cardi. -
That is SOOOOO cool! -
things going great here. Down almost 30 lbs since the pre-op diet. so, 30 in a month. What they did for me was after I finished the classes and got the insurance approval for surgery, they gave me a list of all the tests and where to get them done. Most of them I had done at the hospital. But I tell ya, I had a ton of appointments. eeek

doing great here. I have been lucky not to have much hunger between meals yet. But, I am not even a week into mushies. Congrats on your loss thus far!!! That rocks.
Have u gone to any more meetings?
-
Excellent. I am doing well. First day back at work. I did stay overnight. I had my surgery at like 5 pm..... now that was difficult since I was fasting since 9 pm the following night. LOL
That is good to hear about the group. I will look up the schedule and see when they meet. Those bypassers will not be able to eat the same foods we will so the joke is on them. HA!
Wishing you a speedy recovery as well.

Thanks, ya'll. :-)
All is well and I am adjusting. not much discomfort and should be back to work tomorrow or Wed. :-)

Well, I survived day one with only minor injuries. :-) Had 2 major food temptations at work on day one. One person brought 2 dozen donuts to work for the co-workers and my boss man brought in 2 homemade pies. EEEK!!! I managed to steer clear of them but man ole man was it a challenge. Anyhoo, day 2 is on now and I am chowin down on a choco bar right now. yum! :smile2:

Just having my first Opti-fast "meal" of the day. The choco bar. Not bad. very dense.

WOOT!!! Congrats and I know you will do well. Keep us posted. -
My surgery is on Oct 12th. The 6 month program I had to attend was insurance mandated and more of a nutrition class than anything. I knew everything they told me but I had to go and attend anyway. So far, I am on day two of my opti-fast diet. haven't been too hungry yet... BUT yesterday a person at work brought 2 dozen donuts to work AND another person brought 2 pies. Way to tempt a guy on his first day of a sub 1000 cal diet. lol

Opti-fast.... Day one
taeboguy-too replied to taeboguy-too's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I finished up my day one last night with the Opti-Fast tomato soup and 2 sugar free popcicles. The tomato soup didn't dissolve as well as I would like so instead of pouring the power into the hot Water, tonight I will pour the hot water on top of the soup. This might help. As for taste....meh. I don't normally eat tomato soup to begin with. I can report that the shakes were all good and so is the choco bar that I eat for Breakfast. As for hunger, didn't have any yesterday. I did have that artificial sweetener after taste in my mouth at the end of the day. Didn't care for that so much. All in all, a good first day. Now... on to day 2. WooHoo! -
Hi all New member here and first time poster. Getting my banding done on the 12th of Oct and will be starting my Opti-Fast pre-op diet tomorrow. Had my "last meal" yesterday at the Cheesecake Factory. lol Anyhoo, I haven't tried the Opti-Fast yet and was wondering what everyone thought of it. I have vanilla, strawberry and chocolate drinks as well as bars and tomato Soup (which I normally don't eat.) Looking forward to the band.
