The Fage is really good with some Splenda added to it. I have read where some people add sf preserves or jelly to it. I might try that sometime, but for now I stick with Splenda.
Both brands are nice and thick, very yummy.
As for the Blog, I really know very little about it myself! I did try it once on a different site a long time ago and for some reason it seemed easier then! So I am no help when it comes to that area.

It's really easy to get your free sample. You simply give them your name and address and tell them which surgery you are going to have and they send you what is best for that particular surgery.

Celebrate bariatric vitamins offers a sample pack so that you can try out some of their chewable vitamins before buying a bunch of them. I got mine in the mail today, and I'll try them out tomorrow. I just wanted to share the link with you guys:

They also included a pack of their multivitamin and calcium drink mix called Celebrate ENS in a cherry flavor.
Not bad for $free.99!
My final visit with the surgeon is tomorrow afternoon, and I'm sure he'll give me some more instructions. I'm pretty sure he only requires a liquid diet for a 48 hours before surgery. I'll find out for sure though tomorrow, and I'll report back then. Oh, and I'll get weighed again tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for me!
I don't have a separate blog outside of OH, but I've been blogging daily on my OH blog. That's probably where I'll be updating the most.

And, love that you have a blog - it's great! Can you follow a WordPress blog the same way you'd follow a blogger blog? I am still very new to the world of blogging!
Thanks!

3 or 4 protein shakes a day, with SG jello or pudding in between. I have also been chomping on some veggies and I sometimes use a tittle dap of low fat dressing to dip them in..
Water, water, and MORE water with lots of crystal light flavors! Unsweet, uncaf, tea..ohh and a palm full of peanuts a day..
Thats is pretty much it..the caff headaches are gone..so that is good, but sometimes I feel like my stomach is coming out..LOL
I am hanging in there though..by the way, glad to have support from fellow sleevers!! Hope to chat with you all soon
Any and all liquids (low calorie and low fat)
Cream soups
Yogurt
Mashed fruits, vegetables, and cereal
Water
While on this diet I felt like it was just too high in calories and carbs and I knew I should be on a more strict diet, so for the following 10 days I am having:
3 Medifast shakes (Comparable to OptiFast)
2 cups 0 fat Greek yogurt
unlimited amounts of broth
Tons of water
and about every 3rd day I have a bowl of cream soup
For the last 3 days I will be on a very strict clear liquid diet.
I will be starting mt clear liquid diet this Friday!
I have to admit it has been real difficult and I feel so hungry, but ut has gotten easier today. This Wednesday I am having a tooth removed, which I think will make my diet even more easy to do.
