Hello all, I just joined yesterday and I'm so very excited to get some positive support and encuragement from the site. The liquid diet isn't as bad as I thought it would be:) There is only a few hours a day were I struggle mainly at lunch time. I have already lost 8 lbs in 6 days. WOW is all I can say.

I was supposed to be banned on Jan 26th but my pre-op tests showed some gallstones and they are going to remove my gallbladder first. I should get banned 2 to 3 weeks after that surgery. Congrats on everything and good luck.

How is the optifast working for you? I was told to use better MD. It's not bad.

It's really not that bad. Im not a milk drinker and If I can do it anyone can. I think it may be easyer than having limited choices of food. This way there is no bad choices.

were you told to take Calcium citrate? I cant find it anywhere.

Im getting banded the 25th. My pre-op is 2 weeks of 2 shakes plus one lean cuisine a day. So far not too bad.

I'm getting banded on the 27th. I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet. I get 2 bariatric advantage shakes and one cup non-creamed soup. Hasn't been that bad. I'm very motivated.

Almost here Jan 25th for me!
