    Thank you Tara! Yes I too have been thinking about this option for about a year and now is when I made the move and went to a seminar and consultation. I know it won't be easy but I am hoping for the best. good luck to you on your weight loss journey!

    It took me almost a year to make the decision. I am now 12 days post surgery and feel pretty good. I'm a little tired, but since my 2 week pre-op liquid diet, I've lost 38 lbs. I wasn't sure if I was going to share my surgery with my friends either, but I decided to and it was the best decision. I've had nothing but support!!! A couple of work friends even did liquids only the 2 weeks before surgery with me. It is a huge decision to make so definitely list your pros and cons. Good luck to you with whichever path you choose.

    tarakuk got a reaction from Mommy2three in Is Anyone Else On The Optifast Shakes For Pre-Op?   
    I had to do liquids for 2 weeks. I felt like crap for the first 3 days, but then was just fine. I had Atkins Advantage premixed for breakfast everyday. I also bought 1st Phorm powder mix and had 1 or 2 a day. I didn't have any food though and drank water w/ crystal light. I was supposed to drink 5-8 shakes a day, but couldn't do that...ugh. In those 2 weeks I lost 20.8 lbs and as of tomorrow I will be 1 week post-op. Hang in there...it gets easier!
