Pre-Op Testing Complete :) 2 Weeks Of Optifast :(



Recommended Posts

Well all my pre-op testing is complete! I finished my last two today, which was a UGI and blood work! I also visited Potomac Sentara and the Bariatric Center Coordinator and staff who will be responsible for my care. Everyone was soo nice!! I am finally getting excited, and May 16th seems more real the ever!!

Here is the downside: I have to start my Optifast diet tomorrow, and it’s for two weeks. I knew that upfront so am not complaining but unfortunately my job decided to send me on business travel. So now I am starting the diet while on the road for a slew of meetings! This is going to be hard, especially when my fellow coworkers and colleagues will be eating lunch with me, and wondering why am not eating anything but a Protein Bar and a shake! I hate explaining myself and even if I tell them I’m on a diet, it’s just the temptation. Augghh...please keep me in prayer, am going to need it!

You can do it!!! You are putting alot of time and energy into this and it's right around the corner. You won't blow it now...you will get thru it and then look back and wonder how you even questioned yourself. Be Selfish...This is for YOU!! All my best to you :)

Thanks everyone!!! You all are the best motivators :) ! My business trip is over and I did pretty well...I did cave in and have a salad but that was mostly because I did an hr routine in the gym and after eating everything on the Optifast diet for that day, I was still hungry! I think it was because i had burned everything in my system! Overall the diet is not that bad though!! :)

Be proud of the journey you are taking....who cares what other's think of you? It is something to be proud of and so unburden yourself and tell others? They will probably only support you anyway :rolleyes:

Cheers,

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
