Hey everyone,

I am so excited to get going on this weight loss journey. I feel like I have tried so many other things but with this I feel I can have long term success! I got a bug to get it done and had my first doctor appt. Oct. 17th and it felt like it took forever to get scheduled but it really wasn't very long I guess. I am anxious to get it over with.

Scared of pain, wondering what I will eat. Anyone have any favorite Protein powders? I hear they will be my friend. The only ones I tried in the past were yucky! What about shakes? I like Optifast but they are pricey. Any decent ones out there?

Hoping for some buddies to go through this with me!

I think we're all going to be nervous about that! I am thankful that I only have to do one week. Keep us posted on how you are doing and if you find anything you can have that is good or bad. I was thinking about starting my diet a day early since I can't imagine doing the first day of it on a work day.

Good luck, I know you can do it!

Thank you! As nervous as I am, I am even more excited!! I got lucky as my surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet. I love this site and reading everyone else's experiences????

Yes it's such a great group of support growing out of experiences and newly but lifelong developed friendships!

I've been posting for 12 hours and already feel surrounded by love and support.

I'm much less scared and way more excited now.

My surgeon also does not require a pre-op diet, so I'm thankful for that. One less thing to be nervous about.

I'm December 11th, started my full liquid pre opt on Thanksgiving. Getting very very nervous!
