Hi Ang,
Mine is on the 20th. Did you have to do the 2 week pre-op Optifast? I have been doing it, but it's really taken it's toll on my tummy. And, to beat, I have only dropped about 5 lbs. A little frustrating. I am afraid this is an indicator that I won't lose weight even after the band. Most ppl are supposed to lose 15-20lbs (avg) on the liquid pre-op diet. Uggh. Also scared they will say I haven't lost enough and my surgery will be postponed. Any thoughts???
Thanks, Jossie1:blushing:

Hello! I am scheduled for January 20, 2010 at 8am. I have been fretting a bit b/c I began my liquid diet (Optifast) a week ago and have only dropped around 5 lbs. I am nervous and scared that my surgery will be postponed if I don't get at least 10lbs off prior to surgery. I have walked every day for a minimum of 30 mins and have even done some running. (Not easy to do at this weight, I might add) Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same as me???![;)](https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png)
