I did the Optifast and loved the chocolate shake. I threw fresh strawberries into the vanilla shake and blended it with a few ice cubes and it was like a strawberry shake. I had no problems with Optifast.

I'm getting banded on 8/7! Starting my liver reduction/liquid diet this Wednesday 7/31 maybe we can keep in touch and motivate each other? I'm looking forward to starting this new chapter in my life.

This chat is great bc I get so excited about WLS & life after and I feel like no one understands my constant chatter about the subject. Now I'm even more excited than ever to connect with others who understand!

I had my HR director today ask me how I can be so excited about surgery and I said because it is a permanent change!

I am to check in at 530 am on the 6th. Get to do Clear liquids for 2 days before surgery. I would go tomorrow if they would let me! I will post and check in after I wake up. Will look forward to hearing from other august banders as you get done! I feel like I'm going to peel away the old body to find the 'real' me!

I feel like my husband becomes annoyed because it is all I talk about. I love that I'm not alone with this board.
