Hi I start optifast on 15 April two weeks before :-)

April 29th! I started the bariatric diet today!

April 29th for me too! Kansas City! :-) started my Preop diet today. I'm hungry.

@@beeteroo I'm hungry as well!! I think that's completely normal though. I cannot wait until the hunger subsides!

So I've had a rough time with this low cal diet for Preop. I get two protein shakes a day, two servings of fruit, I can have milk and juice (limited to 2 cups max a day), unlimited water too, then a lean meat and vegetable for a meal. I just got my presurgery diet handbook and found that I can eat more than I thought. The past two days I've been starving myself all day with just two protein shakes and a very light meal in the evenings! So I have packed a bit more food for the day today! I think I got hypoglycemic yesterday! Had the worst headache and felt like I was going to pass out! Today is a new day and I'm going to try and eat more! ;-) it's only 12 days away! Now it seems my work is going to give me grief about taking a week off. I feel like it's my only chance to do this so I'm going for it! ;-)

Yes nervous!

I had my EGD today and it went well. Nothing to keep me from having surgery next week! My throat is sore. I also went through all of the Preop work ups at the hospital today! I found out that post op I won't be able to drink anything until my swallow study! I'm thirsty just thinking about it! 7 more days! Now back to my low carb/high protein diet!

April 29 here too. Yay. I can't wait. Using University General in Houston with Dr Said Bina through Neweigh

Still have nine more lbs to loose before next week and that's stressing me out.

I can't wait to get this surgery over and get going with my new life

Did they give you an amount of weight you had to lose before surgery?

10-15 lbs. So far I'm down five. Five to go and three days to do it??? I'm worried.
