Thanks for the support. My skinny hubby bought more butter today. My goal tomorrow is to clean out the fridge and pantry. I will be doing 4 shakes and two bars for 12 days. Hope the pounds come off. It will be a good motivation. So glad I joined. It really helps to hear what others are going through and how they are

Hi Everyone... I am having my surgery on 4/9 - I feel so excited - even though it is my last weekend with food. I am a ton of faith in my doctor, he is the head of bariatric surgery at the hospital where I am having my procedure. My pre op diet seems to be different then most. I will be on Optifast shakes and bars for 12 days, then two days of clear liquid. A little nervous but I can loose between 10 and 20 pounds before the surgical date. Is anyone else on a pre op diet like this?

Hi all... I am a married 44 year old, my only babies are my two siamese cats. I have also struggled with weight for too many years to count. I started working at a new job a year ago and met someone who had the lap band and had already lost 100 pounds, she is the one who really got me to say out loud that I have dreamed of this type of surgery for years. My insurance required 6 months of seeing a nutritionist in addition to the other pre-op stuff. The six months flew by - and April 9 is the proverbial first day of the rest of my life. My husband who has been skinny his whole life is very supportive as are my family and all the people in my workplace (large doctors office). This weekend is my last weekend with my soon to be old friend food..... I start on Optifast for 12 days then two days clear liquid - then surgery day. As many of you I can't wait to be able to go into any store and be able to purchase something!!! I can't even imagine that feeling - to be so called normal. Also one reward I am counting on is a beautify bra and panty set from Victoria Secret... another store that I have not been able to buy anything at. Is anyone else on a two week liquid diet before surgery? If so would love to hear how it is going...

Hi there... My surgery date is 4/9 and this is my last weekend of eating real food for a while.. I start my 12 days of optifast on Monday. I am so excited.. I work with someone who has lost 100 pounds with the band and she is so supportive.... Good luck to all..
