I started my six months last Oct I got approved the sec week of July and my Dr. gave me first appt with the 4 week time period I need 4 Optifast my surg date is Oct 8th and the time is dragging.

I am glad i will only have to do a one week pre op liquid diet. I couldn't handle a 4 week one. My body would definitely go into shock with no food and no cigs and no coffee lol

I start my two week liquid diet on Monday- ugh! I went into kitchen today and boxed up everything in cabinets and whatever was not open in the fridge, and gave to friends. I am gonna miss BACON!

Good luck!!!! I guess we have to keep the end results always in mind.

Yup, my goal is to be able to walk at the park and not scare small kids with my shadow

It does seem like forever when your starting out your 6 month weigh ins but it really does go by really fast. Take this time to educate yourself as much as you can. I'm glad that I had the time to mentally prepare myself. I'll be having my surgery in a few weeks. I hope that I have enough education about what to expect. I couldnt wait in the beginning for the 6 months to go by. Now there gone and I can't front I'm kinda nervous.

I have researched this since 2003 and finally have insurance that covers it. I am so impatient already LOL

I am hoping that my surgeon will put me on the one week liquid diet on my last visit while waiting for approval from insurance
