Anyone do Optifast ?

I took it and was very successful the first time. I lost about 40 pounds and became super fit. I had no side effects, although I did gain a small amount of weight back after. Then I got pregnant and gained 50 pounds, which then started an endless cycle of taking phentermine, losing, then gaining even more back. After a few times, I started to have side effects that included anxiety, fatigue (strangely enough) and chest pains. That was enough for me, I would rather be chubby than feel that bad. I decided enough was enough, so I am in the process to get the VSG.

I know everyone says to bring a sports bra, I guess because that's more comfortable, but pulling a sports bra over your head and shoulders can be like wrestling with an enormous rubber band. Personally, I'm going with an easy front clasp bra

Hello
Me too, mine is 3rd July.
Surgery on your birthday! What a fantastic way to kick off another year. Similar for me, my birthday is 11th July. No cake for either of us this year!!

I'm scheduled for my sleeve on my birthday July 10. Anyone else scheduled for July?
