I am on day 17 of my optifast, and I get banded in 4 days! Keep up the great work...this wretched way of eating (drinking? ;P) is all a means to an end.

HOLLA!!!! I feel like copying your post and sending to a few choice family members... thank you for verbalising what I've been thinking!

I appreciate your kind words, and I could definitely use some support right now... I have my operation on the 19th. I have just completed one week of a three week Optifast shakes-only diet. It is very miserable. I am trying so hard to keep motivated, but this diet makes me miss food SO MUCH. I am wondering if I can handle the lap band diet. I remind myself that once I have surgery, I won't feel hungry the way I do now, not in the least satisfied by these Meal Replacement shakes. I do appreciate the support!

Hey all! The other thread similiar to this one didn't provide the info I am looking for. I am wondering, are there any monthly support groups for lapband patients in the Orlando area? Preferably not doctor specific, as I'm having my surgery done in Tampa (July 19th!).

I am having surgery July 19th. I am on three weeks of optifast-only liquid diet. Vey excited !!!

Hello everyone! I stumbled onto this site and it looks like a great resource! My operation date is July 19th (16 days!!!!) and I'm currently on three weeks of only optifast...totally sucks! If you have any threads that you think are ABSOLUTELY INTEGRAL, please let me know. This looks like a great forum, and I'm excited to be a part of it
