Day 3 of Optifast

Apr 20, 2011

Hello - my journey started on Monday, April 18th - Day one of Optifast.  Not too bad so far...the chocolate is definitly better then the vanilla.  I've also had two cups of chicken broth each day and 1c. cucumber slices to remember what it's like to chew.  My surgery is at St. Joe's on the 3rd of May, so I'm eager but a little nervous too.  I'm an RN so I probably know a little too much about downturns; however the staff at my pre-admission meeting was very professional and answered all my questions.  My weight today is 220 lbs and I would like to get down to 135 lbs.  I've tried every diet you can think of, actually losing 100 lbs. once, but kept gaining it back.  Now I'm on to pre-diabetes and severe joint pain so my GP recommended RNY.
So I'm on my way......one step at a time.....
