Welcome ! I took my time most days i didn't get all my fluids and protein in until i was feeling better . I just tried my best . Im two months out and its way better now.

My weight stalled but i was loosing inches the whole time . So take your measurements :-)

Remember that while the scale might not be moving you are more than likely loosing inches, i had surgery june 27 th and my scale didnt move for three weeks but the inches where melting off

I used to love tuna cant even look at it anymore !

Thanks alot ! It goes to show that if the scale doesn't move then the inches are probably melting off . Im feeling so much better !

Well im just finishing up my third week! Ill. E on soft / normal food next tuesday and i cant wait . Things ha e been way better than the first two weeks. All my pain is mostly gone, im walking more and im sleeping a lot better too.im down 45 lb since my pre- op diet and loosing inches everyday.i couldn't be any happier with my progress!!

Good luck with surgery!! I had mine last tuesday in toronto . Was a little rougher than i thought but im feeling great now ! lots of walking to get that gas out! And take your time . Dont over do it . :-)

Thank you and i will for sure !

So it finally happened ! After 1 year of appts 3 weeks of optifast and 23 lb i had surgery last Tuesday! I had to spend an extra night in hospital due to high heart rate and extreme nausea was finally released and im feeling much better . Im still sore and concentrating on getting my fluids in and my protein . Had my first bowl movement today too!(sorry tmi) it really helped with the bloating ! Im down an extra 7 lb since surgery which is fantastic! All get better keep it up everyone!!

Im at St.Joe's in Toronto. It will ho by pretty quickly:-) i wish you luck too!just keep positive. Im on day 7 of optifast diet and i haven't been hungry which surprised me lol im feeling amazing and getting my work outs in ! Excited for the 27 th!

I think anything you do to increase your activity is great ! If you feel you could do more ( with out hurting yourself ) go for it . I use my Exercise bike and i have a cable weight set. I also use my stairs:)

So true ! I was such a lazy person, never had the energy to work out . Now its kind of exciting to see what i could do . I ha e more energy and a set wake up time and sleep time . The new routine is doing good for me and its exciting to see i can do more and more everyday:-)

Im pre op and started to work out . I find it keeps me busy while on optifast and will get me into the habit after surgery:-)

Good luck to you also! Its been pretty good for me so far, i be been keeping busy helps with the brain hunger lol

Thats awesome ! Can't wait to be feeling great!

Im having the RNY you?

So true ! Im at st Joes in Toronto Dr sullivan is my dr:)

My dr said i could have 2 cups of greens a day max if it was needed . Im hoping it goes well but like you said i still have to shop and cook for my daughter . Its only day one im sure ill struggle in a few days . Im trying to keep buzy . Going for walks and a little work out before i have a shake . Major house cleaning since i have the time Lol My work let me move my holidays so ill be off of work till after surgery thats a bonus . We got this ! Pretty soon we will be looking back and will be super proud of ourselves!! 10lb thats an awesome motivator!

It's not as bad as i thought it would be ... I ve been working out a bit and walking more the past week its keeping me busy . So far so good . The taste isnt too bad either . How's your opti going ?
