My sleeve is on the 4th too - really struggling with my all liquid diet right now, so hope it will hurry up.

ok, I have surgery on the 4th and this is getting really hard. I had a small cheese and bacon roll last night, so much for I will miss, but today I've been really good. I'm only 5 days out now so I have to stick to it. It's so hard... I mean, if I could stick to a fast like this, I wouldn't need the surgery. Please someone tell me something to force me to stick to it.

Thanks for that. I found out that I will be taking multi-vitamins. Were you exercising to lose that much? I am not sure what recipes I should be making the first few months through the phases. Does anyone know if there are any recipe books out there? Won’t eating mash potato in the purée phase make you put on weight? I mean it’s carbs. Should I be sticking to other veg like cauliflower? Did you add butter or anything to make it yummier? thanks

You are all lucky. I am on just three protein shakes a day, but so far I am ok with that. I am more nervous about post-op. I don't know what they mean by puree when I get to that stage. Can I mix in butter or anything to make it yummier? This is so low calorie that I fear I will faint post-op.

Hi all, I have my surgery coming up on the 2nd December, and I am starting to get so nervous. I have started Optifast and so far, that's fine. I am definitely ready for this surgery, but I am scared it won't work for me, or that weightless will be very slow. What kind of weightless can I expect in 3 months in kgs? And when would I be well enough to go to spin class and do weights? Will I need multi-vitamins? I have so many questions. I am so afraid the weight will pile right back on after a few years... Any words of confidence right now will be very appreciated. Thanks
