Here I am 14 days post op and feeling a-ok.

The surgery did not go as planned, I was wanting to have the Roux en Y procedure done but once my doctor got into it he ran into a few complications. Evidently the way that I am built caused a problem with the way my belly fat pack was laying and to top it off he had to repair a hernia that he could put both fists in. So he made the decision to do the Gastric Sleeve.

The weight is starting to come off and that is what its all about and I know right now its because I am eating next to nothing but with the lead up to the surgery and the support from the staff at Summa Bariatric Center I am well on my way to a much healthier and happier life.

1st week of Optifast in the books and 2 to go. Had a doctors visit today and he went over the procedure again, getting anxious and also more and more excited.

16 lbs down from my optifast weigh in !!!!!

Ok here is my thoughts on day 1.

Started the day off with a vanilla Optifast meal replacement shake, although the consistency is nowhere near a shake lol. Was not horrible but it wasnt altogether great either.

Morning snack was an Optifast berry with yogurt coating bar, again not bad but not great.

Lunch was the Optifast Tomato soup which I have to say is my favorite of everything that I have tried today.

My next snack was the Optifast peanut butter chocolate bar not to bad.

Dinner was the Optifast chicken soup and the strawberry shake. I have to say that the chicken soup leaves a lot to be desired 

Last 1 of the day I used the vanilla shake mix and instead of water used diet Sunkist soda.

Overall going into it I was aware that Michelin star meals I would not be getting haha, As you can see I tried some variety today to see what is good and what is well it doesnt matter because you cant return it lol That being said come time for my next order I have a much better sense of what I like and will order again.

Starting the Optifast Diet Tuesday. Will keep track of that progress as we go along.
