Wahoo Optifast!

I am on day 5 of my Optifast. I have not cheated once and I still have had no cravings. I started at 251 and this morning I weighed in at 239. I have not been in the 230's in 5 years (since before my son was born)!!!   My band date is June 10th. I am so excited about it...but even happier bc now my father is interested in looking into it as well for his health. I am sooooo happy that I have influenced him. We both have struggled all our adult lives with our weight and he has ALWAYS been there for me...now I feel like I (in some little way) have opened a door to help him.

I would love to wish everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day!! Thank you to all of those who have served to keep our country free and safe.

 Congrats!

I dd optifast for the 2 week preop diet, and lost about 15 lbs.  It was a great way to start.  Good luck on your journey.  Mine's been great

Great job!   The optifast thing gets easier as you go along (the first 3 days are the hardest).

Congratulations on being a positive influence on your father --- it is wonderful that you can support and encourage each other (whether he decides to have surgery or not).

Hang in there -- you are well on your way.

Congratulations on the weight loss.  I didn't have to do optifast, but am terribly glad I did lose 14 lbs before surgery.
