Cleared for Celery
Hi all -
Many of you know that I am on Optifast til surgery in March. I have been pretty compliant and have been excercising and have lost 11 pounds since 1/18/06. My nurse said thatI could have my 3/7/06 date and I have a message into their scheduling center to lock in the date (yippee) - this means lots of hard work and a 16 pound loss by then.
On a bright note - on top of the Optifast, s/f drinks, diet soda, water, and black coffee I am allowed, my nurse also cleared me to eat celery today!!! Yippee - I will be able to eat something at my Superbowl party!!!

Congratulations on the weight loss and the approval for March 7 instead of the 17th. I am positive that the time will fly by. Congrats on getting celery approved as well that is a step up and it is always nice to just be able to munch on something.

Yes!
Way to go with the super weight loss. Your surgeon's gonna notice all the room to move around, or as mine said blow up the dome. Keep it up, you can do it, you've got celery now!
