As far as the last supper idea, our NUT said Clear Liquids only the day before. And if there is any solid food in the bowel at all it can be dangerous & surgery will be called off. Soooo, I'd suggest doing the last supper two days before or even the night before you start your preop diet.

I think will go out for dinner with my husband the night before my 2 week diet. Nothing crazy but something gourmet :)

Yes, I did 1 month prior to lap band. I'm not doing it this time, I was struggling last night for real. lol I need to lose 10 lbs by Dec 2nd. So, hopefully I can do the liquid 2 1/2 weeks before surgery date and still lose the 10 lbs for insurance approval. I may just be getting the band removed on the 10th if my insurance gives me probs.

I'm going to look into these! My friend at work that sits behind me had gastric and found a good one at GNC that is almost 30 dollars for a case of 12. She is going to bring me one to try.

I just bought the Optifast on Amazon for 100 dollars for 27 of them! I know by experience they work and they taste really good.... but if there is a cheaper option i'm going with that!

Thanks y'all

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
