October 15th for me! I started my liquid Protein diet on October 2 right after getting my call for surgery. I'm on the SlimTime shakes 3 x a day, plus 2 protini bars. I've been adjusting really well, I do find I get a bit more tired easily but I'm down 7.8 pounds already and feeling great, considering.
I'm from the East Coast, living in Quebec but far from Montreal...having my surgery in Rimouski. I meet the surgeon February 11th, and just got off a cruise ship so today is the day I start eating right ie. 4 food groups and completely quit my "social" smoking. Wish me luck!
