wannabthin 0 Posted September 8, 2007 I don't know if anyone else does this or not, but a friend told me to freeze a Slim Fast & eat it like ice cream. I tried it & I think it taste better & it makes me feel more satisfied than if I were to just drink it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bubblebelly 0 Posted September 10, 2007 hey. all sept 20 bandsters, where are you from and where are you having surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbgray 1 Posted September 10, 2007 My Dr's office just changed my surgery date from Sept 13 to Sept 17th. I am very bummed out about it. I looks like there are a lot of us getting banded on the 17th though. I have been on liquid since last friday and have lost about 19 pounds, but i am ready for something crunchy!!!

poohlvr 0 Posted September 11, 2007 WOW 19 lbs is GREAT! I started liquids today and I have the WORST headache ever! I am going to call it a night and go to bed just as soon as I can! I could only dream of losing 19 lbs!!!! I will change your date, at least you still will have it. Maybe the 13 would have been a bad day for the dr and something might have gone wrong. EVERYTHING happens for a reason!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katmeg99 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Ok, group. I need a little pick me up. I lost 14 pounds on this liquid diet in 9 days. Stupidly, to Celebrate, I went over to a friend's house and had a no/low carb dinner with (a lot of) wine. Woke up Saturday and felt like I was in college--I couldn't stop throwing up. When all was said and done I had lost another 3 pounds (which hit my goal for getting the surgery on Sept. 18 so in a way I was glad, although severely worn out). Since Saturday, I have gained 5 pounds. I can't figure it out. I'm still on the liquid diet, doing everything the same. Why am I gaining weight? :help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poohlvr 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Could it be close to the time of the month? Have you been eating some low/no carb meals? I am not sure what advice I could tell you, I hope it all comes out ok! I will be praying for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time4Me 0 Posted September 11, 2007 katmeg99-If I drink alcohol, it is a guaranteed 3-10 pounds depending on how much I drink...I think it's all the sugar turning to fat, unfortunately. Drink LOTS of Water to flush it back out. I am on day 5 of my medifast journey to lose 20 by the 21st and I have been thinking of celebrating my 10 pounds, but you convinced me I shouldn't! Just get back on track and you will be good to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
