My surgery date is Jan 22nd and I've been wondering what will happen to my loose skin as I lose weight. My plan is to get a personal trainer to help me tone up. Will this really work or is it wishful thinking?

I'll take it!

The combination of optifast and water all day leaves me with a terrible taste in my mouth, so I asked my doc if I could chew sugarless gum and he says ok. I can chew it up to the day before my surgery. It's so nice to have something with flavor to chew on! Extra gum dessert delights has awesome favors. I think I bought one of each at Target lol.

My doc has me on these protein shakes. This week I have shakes all day and one meal at night thats unlimited mixed greens, one serving of veggies and 6 oz of a lean meat. I can have a cup of coffee with skim milk only. And no dressing on my salad and 64oz of water a day. Next week im on straight shakes no food. I dont know how im going to do next week ugh its interesting the pre op diets r different. I guess its the doctors preference.

What is ur pre op diet like? Im miserable lol

1/22!!!

Im so nervous!

All my pre op visits are done my surgery is set for 1/22!! I'm on my second day of the pre op diet. This is tough!

Today in my second day on my pre op diet. I'm so hungry and irritable. I can't imagine what next week is going to be like when I'm just on my shakes. Someone please tell me this will get easier.

So far its been pretty good. I have a upper GI scheduled for next week. Def not looking forward to it
