I've done the optifast diet prior to considering wls.... the chocolate RTD was okay... it does fill you up

I agree.... I'm considering November 30th my "new birthday" , a fresh start to a new and healthier life. one that I plan on living to the fullest...

Hello Kali, can definitely relate... I was originally scheduled to have my surgery today, but my thyroid had other plans sigh so now I'm scheduled for November 30th. Good luck, hope things go well for you

You're welcome! It's okay to be nervous.... I'm nervous and I've had several surgeries.

Hello George and welcome!! You have come to the right place.... the people on here are so friendly and very informative. Congratulations on getting your date and making the first step to the new healthier you! Any time you need to talk, vent or ask questions ( I'll try to answer... pre sleeved too) I'm always around. Good luck on your journey

I've been doing anything to keep myself busy.... cleaning the house, shopping for food for my family and buying both pre op diet and post op for myself. Figured I would clean my closet out about a week before surgery but plan on leaving a couple pair of pants and few shirts. I've also started a journal/scrap book documenting my journey.... thought it might be a way to pep myself up during the dreaded stalls that everyone talks about.

That's great news... congratulations! Good luck on your journey

I have a count down app on my phone too.... it's called " days until" , it's so cool ! Counts down weeks, days,minutes and seconds.... 7 weeks and six days left and counting... so excited!

Congratulations and welcome to the November sleevers club

I got them because they have iron in them but not too much.... I can't tolerate a lot of iron. Each chewable contains the same amount of iron as 5 servings of spinach. I looked into getting the gummy vitafusion, but they had too much soy (no soy w/ thyroid condition)

Forgot to mention got some bioten dry mouth wash, and colgate wisps

Vitamins i got biotin 5000 mg, coQ10, and Flintstones chewables plus iron.... oh yeah the chewy caltrate w/vitamin D

Hey there... I'm holding up pretty good, been trying the protein shakes myself... I like the unjury chocolate splendor, premier shakes and adkins. Bought the unjury chicken but haven't tried it yet..... got vitamins, chap stick, sports bras, gas x, roll on muscle rub for shoulder pain, and a new extension cord for my cell phone charger. I cannot wait for November to get here...
