I'm a bit late on my update today because a) new grey's episode tonight and b) I cleaned out my closet. After working at a high end plus-size clothing store for 2 years, I had sooo many dressy things I knew I wouldn't wear anymore, so I am giving them to my cousin who just graduated from university and is now a teacher. And, while cleaning out my closet, I found my skinny jeans. The jeans I got from Old Navy 4 years ago maybe...I was actually able to wear them for a couple of month, tonight I can't even get them past my thighs. Can't wait to be able to zip them up!
Aside from that, it was day 3 of my "liquid diet" but as previously mentioned, it isn't going well at all. And I really from the bottom of my heart appreciate the comments and messages I have gotten. I went out and bought Gourmet Whey protein today, I really love this stuff and recommend it. 23g of protein per scoop of power, 120 calories, 2g of fat, and 3g of sugar...I hope I still enjoy these post op! As for the Optifast, someone suggested I mix it with vanilla soy milk, I'm going to pick some up tomorrow and try it that way. Hope I can tolerate it like that, I don't even know what I'm going to do if I can't. I am still getting all my water in and am determined to start my walks soon.
That's my Thursday update...11 days to go!

Keep up the trial and error. It's amazing the things you can mix together to get your food in! Isn't cleaning out the closet the best. I got rid of like 18 pairs of pants and 20 tops. It was amazing!!! I'm in a 22 now (down from a 28) and the 22 is too big, but I'm too cheap to shop for new pants that won't last! Keep up the good work and just think less than 2 weeks.....WOW!!!
Do you *have* to do optifast? I think it is so archaic personally. Does your surgeon cancel surgery if you don't do liquids?
