Hi everyone, I am lo...

Hi everyone, I am looking for some information. My doctor has put me on a diet of optifast 800 for 2 weeks before my surgery and I am looking to find some reasonable somewhere. Does anyone know where I might find it reasonable? All the info that you can give me will be appreciated. Thanks Sheila

Try e-Bay. They have everything. June

Sheila, I did a google search for optifast 800 and came up with numerous websites. Check them out. When is your surgery? Will you have time to mail order? Hope this helps! HUGS Kimberly

Sorry the google search didn't come up with anything less pricey. I had RNY with Dr. Cleveland almost 2 years ago. I started at 235 and now weigh 130. I'd do it all over again! If you need anything let me know.... this is a great board to be on! HUGS K

Sheila, Funny, I'm getting your messages, but they are not showing up on the message board. So it appears I am talking to myself! Anyway, typically your body will stop when it's good and ready! Eventually you will be eating enough calories to sustain your weight. There was a period there where people told me I looked a little too thin. I was about 123-125. I added some high calorie snacks, such as nuts and cheese. I'm now up to 130 - 133 and feel great, although I am a bit number obsessed and would really like to hold steady at just under 130. Crazy I know. It's such a phsycological game we play with ourselves. One pound added on the scale sends me into a panick. I'm terrified of becoming a 300 pound woman again. (I've come very close to that number before) So anyway, it's a healthy obsession. I'll also add an interesting tidbit... I GREW! I started at just over 5'4" and now I'm about 5'6"! Cool huh? Anyway, the little girl in the pic is my daughter. She is my inspiration. You can read my story by going to my profile with the link below, then you'll understand better. There are also recent pics of all of my family. Anyway... hope you have a GREAT Friday and an even better weekend! HUGS! K
