You were in my prayers all day yeaterday! I hope you are home and doing well. Let us know how you're doing when you feel like it =)

Yes!!! You're doing the right thing! I hope all went well today, and good luck in the weeks to come.

My surgery is scheduled for June 27th. I also am soooo excited. I am self -paying after going through the long drawn out process five years ago only to ne turned down by my insurance company. I wish I would have do e it back then! I'm so excited that I started my liquid diet two weeks before the doctor requires. I think I really wanted to see if I could actually do it! I've lost 6 pounds so far, but have such a long way to go.

Just got my weight ticker going. Hope it continues to go down. I have a long way to go!!!!!

I am Also self- pay. I went through the entire long drawn out process 5 years ago only to be turned down by insurance company! This time I decided to skip All of that. My insurance policy will not pay for WLS under any circumstances! Wonder if they'll give me the money they will no longer have to pay for all the meds I'm on!!!!!!!!!! lol

I'm scheduled for June 27th..very excited. I must be crazy but I put myself on a self imposed liquid diet two weeks before doc will require it!!!!!!! i guess I just wanted to jnow if I was REALLY capable of it! I've lost 6 pounds so far.=)

How much Protein does each Optifast shake have in it? Just started my pre-op diet. Surgery will be June 27th.

I am having the surgery June 27 and am worried about the same thing. I've been dieting vigorously for the past couple of weeks to try and get my head into the game! Good luck with your decision!! =)
