Scheduled for 3rd June just about to start Optifast diet for the next month. Its getting real now.

Hey there! I just finished my clearances and meet with the surgeon at the end of the week to pick a date!! Feels surreal! Good luck to you!!

My surgery is scheduled for June 3! Fingers crossed that there are no problems with the pre-op testing because I'm ready to do this!

Hi Everyone,

I finally got my surgery date for June 8!!!
It’s really strange to me how excited I am about this!
I would love to share this journey with others scheduled in June!
I think it would be so helpful if we can help each other through this experience!

5 weeks post surgery and your story was mine to a T on the liquid phase. I ended up having a few mouthfuls of shake then waited until I was hungry again and repeat. My dietician was more interested in me keeping up protien and fluids than me not eating between meals.
I also found adding an extra 150mls of Water to the shakes to thin their consistency helpful. Once you get on solid food this problem goes away. Hang in there. It gets better and the journey is different for all of us.
If in doubt always check in with your dietician. They really are the experts and have lots of good advice. I wish you well x

Yes, I am taking acid reducers, I will try to get more Water in. I use the bariatric app and I’m getting more than 64 oz of water a day. But I am am struggling to get my 60-90 grams of Protein, shakes make me sick...anything thick anymore make me nauseous these days.
