Yes! Used the Optifast and it was great. Note: It's definitely a pre-surgery food. After surgery, it doesn't have enough protein per serving and has too many carbs. Here's the plan that worked best for me: - 3-4 optifasts a day (the ones that come in juice-box containers) - dinner: grilled chicken breast, fat-free refried…

(Sorry I'm just seeing this reply now. Why can't this be like our other message board that we're on, with the constant notifications? LOL) What area are are you in, or might you suggest looking around in? I assumed that even if I went out to BP, CH, etc., all I would find are CVS drug stores. :( Thanks again. :)

I can make my own soup (just broth), but I'm concerned about getting enough protein in many forms eg. they want us to have four protein shakes a day, plus items like soup....

I'm getting mine the following week! :) How are your pre-op diets working?

For those of you who were able to make it over the initial hurdle and drop 40 pounds, how did you do it? What gave you strength? What gave you motivation? How'd you stay on target? (HELP!) :)

I think that even if we only do one thing a day, we're doing something right. Because we have a journey ahead of us, we have to start small. So for me, even though I've gained and have gained some weight since I started, at least I'm counting my calories. I'm logging in everyday. I'm sharing my feelings and getting…

I friended you. Feel free to friend me, too! :) I may have written this yesterday, but I've come to the realization that I can't go at this alone. WW's group dynamics didn't work for me, perhaps because I was in a room of svelte yoga-mommies--with perfectly coiffed hair and outfits from Sax Fifth Ave-- trying to lose "that…

Thanks so much, Ray. I really appreciate it. :)

That's great!!

I completely understand where you're coming from. I posted a very similar post at the same time you did! :) So, here's the thing: I think we have to make a choice--do we stay miserable in our shoes (with all the ankle swelling that increased weight brings!), or do we all work together as a group and support one another as…

Thanks so much for organizing this!! :) I'm still getting used to this site, so I'm afraid I may have added myself this morning without posting here first. I hope that's ok. ****Truly looking forward!!****

I'm so happy to hear that you are doing better. Also, what you said was SO true. Two years after my bout, and I see the effects in the weight. Here's to continued health, physically and mentally. :) PS Your child and charity organization is lucky to have you!

PS In line with others who have posted for the "Monday theme": This week's goal is to lay off the night eating and to also stay in my caloric range. My sister-in-law just dropped off a box of homemade goodies for my birthday. I had one, and I hope that's enough for today! All best, Jess

Hi All, This is my first post on this site, but when I saw the title of this thread, I had to reply and say thank you. It gave me a huge feeling of relief to know I'm not the only one looking at a 100-pound journey. Bravo to those of you who have started this process and met your goals--you're an inspiration! - jess
