Hi shayshay85.. I had RNY but also had type 2 diabetes and took Metformin 2 x a day! Notice I said " had" I am almost finished with my diabetic medication ..it has been reduced to a 1/2 pill once a day as well as my blood pressure meds...there can be significant results to major health problems after this surgery!. And I couldn't be happier!!. New lease on life!!. Good luck to you!!. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Honestly I only ever went without a bra at home on my days off..n not going anywhere...so the thought of walking around the hotel halls n leaving the hospital without one was scary...n guess what?! ...I couldn't have cared less!!. I didn't put one on till 2 weeks after..mostly cause mine are serious underwire n I was worried. U will not care....really lol Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi all...I'm struggling to get my Protein in..hate the powders I try doctoring them..ugh..I'm having trouble with getting all my fluids too I'm 3 weeks out now n I'm down 13 pds since surgery..seems to be very slow. I probably need to walk more ..is this normal ? I see ppl dropping a lot in the first few weeks!?. I'm trying to not focus on numbers cause I sure do feel better and I can see and feel weight loss but the motivation of seeing it on the scale would be nice!.

Hi everyone...I'm going in for my surgery tomorrow at 1 pm!!...n let me tell u nerves are high!.. We have come down to the hotel we will be staying at after I'm released from the hospital..we need to stay within the hr from the hospital n home is 2 hrs away. It's been such a long process n it's almost over....this part anyway. I made it through the 2 weeks of optifast!...barely lol. Had a coffee with some cream n sweetner tonight at the hotel cause I just couldn't take it anymore!. Seems I'm down almost 25 pds in the last three weeks so that's kinda exciting!...how am I gonna sleep tonight!? Lol. I don't think I have ever been more excited to taste something other than optifast n cucumbers, celery and broccoli!. Good luck to everyone having April surgeries!. We can do it!!!

I am also April 11 ... I'm on day 9 n omg it's hard..I have to have 4 Optifast drinks a day and only 2 cups of veg..broccoli, cucumber and celery. I've lost almost 15 pounds since my last weigh in. That's exciting!!. But holy I'm starving and these drinks are starting to make me gag. So I am supposed to eat maximum 2 cups of the veg..it's sure not a lot ... I have eaten a few stalks more of celery and maybe a bit more broccoli..but no other food. Do you all think it's bad if I eat more veg!.? I don't want to screw things up!. Help!!...it says no calorie broth as well but where do you get broth with no calories???.... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi Jana... I feel your fear my surgery is next Monday April 11... And nerves are definitely flying!. I'm not afraid of the pain..it's the whole surgery process..I'm a needle phob!...and the fear of what's to come. This Optifast 2 week diet is so hard but I'm getting through it. I totally get the nerves!, Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
