I know how you feel. I've had a hundred last bites..... Hopefully, I'll have the strength to keep it that way. Just so nervous about everything.

April 2nd here!! I gave been wanting the surgery for years and the last three I have been out of work. Then a full time job came to me and insurance came with it. As soon as I found out the surgery was covered, I hopped on that train and have been riding a six month diet plan. Now the surgery is scheduled and I'm getting nervous!!

I'm currently 545lbs. I'm not being put on a liquid diet, but I'm doing it anyway because I want to lose as much as I can before surgery.

Sasha...that's funny, I thought I was the only one having my last of the favorites. I have been going overboard with it and am also looking forward to my pre-op diet. Surgery is on the 20th and pre-op diet starts on the 6th.

Good luck everyone

Sorry, I'm so new at this site and I'm trying to learn how to use it.

It is going good so far. I was so proud of myself this weekend because we had my son's birthday parties this weekend and I did not even cheat! My main problem is the horrible calf cramping I get. I spoke with my Dr. office and I need to take a potassium supplement. It seemed to help the cramps but my calf is so sore.

How are things going with you?

I'm getting banded April 12th. I start the liquid diet on March 29th. Is it weird that I'm kind of excited about the liquid diet? I just want to try all the new things I bought for it I think, lol. I'm sure misery will set in within 3 or 4 days. But, I've tasted everything I wanted to taste and I've had enough carbonation to last a lifetime, so I think I'm prepared! lol

Started my opti fast today. Supposed to have 4 shakes and 2 bars. I managed 3 shakes and almost both bars. Tomorrow I will try to drink an additional shake during the day. I am worried if I don't get all the calories and Protein I won't lose as much. Any thoughts?
