I do have 2 boxes left over....

As per the going home the same day, since I am doing it before you I can let you know how it goes and give you some tips afterwards.  I am supposed to find out on Tuesday the time I am supposed to go in.  I suppose its early morning since I gotta be out by the end of the day. 

You should order your beneprotein from the pharmacie this way you'll have it.  Jean Coutu doesn't normally keep it in stock.  You will have to ask the Pharmacist behind the counter.

HI Lindsay, 
I am so happy for you. It will come so fast....it's crazy.
I'll be honest I didn't do very well.  I only lost 8 pounds, so I am down to 226.  I am very dissappointed about that.  I hope they won't reject me.  I just couldn't tolerate the shake, I really didn't like it.  I skipped meals rather than drink the shake so that may have backfired.

On a positive side many people have tolerated the shake very well, so don't get discouraged.  Be sure to chill the water and add ice once you've blended it.  The vegetables, I don't know what to say, do you dislike all vegetables?  Ask Martine if you can have a sensible low calorie meal insteal like under 300 calories. Instead of 2 serviings of vegetable a day, maybe one weigh****cher frozen meal.  I read on the other forum that a doctor recommended that to a patient.
So basically have 3 shakes and one sensible meal.  I am not sure how that would be for our doctor. 

As per the shake don't worry it blends very well and doesn't make air bubbles, but you will have to pee alot...LOL...so be prepared.

I am a little discouraged right now, I have the sniffles and trying to get the energy to plan my next 3 days.  I have the house to clean, laundry to do.  I want to make sure the kids and hubby don't miss out on anything.  I am soooooo nervous about that. I have never been away from them.

Anyway I wish you the best of luck and don't get discouraged.....were doing all this for a good cause ....

 HI Igm. 
I am so excited for you!! However I am so scared I will hate the Optifast! I start my 2 weeks of opti on Thursday oct 4th.. Surgery is on the 18th!.. I HATE veggies.. so I am not excited about that, 

I've tried some protine shakes in the past I've tried mixing them with the magic bullet and other blenders I find that doing this makes alot of air bubbles and makes me gassy. 

How did u manage the rest of your liquid diet?

Hi everyone, new to this site, so happy to see everyones progress and reading all the positive
feedback. I had the gastric sleeve and August 23rd with dr. Denis at Sacre Coeur and all is going 
Fantastic. Being such a food lover , I was afraid how my relationship with my love for food would
change after the surgery,  but it turns out that I really have no cravings and no mournings for
food, I just naturally enjoy healthy options and feel completely satisfied., the best thing
I ever did for myself,  no regrets Also attending my first support meeting last week and it was
very informative and helpful and of coarse wonderful to meet people and share our experiances.
looking forward to next meeting for sure.
