May the 20th for me, and I'm so ready for this. I am using the opti fast and I like the straw berry I like whip it in the ninja blender and partially freeze it the whip it again, it's such a great smoothly.

I've also whipped up pumpkin smoothies and when I have the Soup I use cold Water chuck a hand full of veggies fresh or frozen and whip it up the heat it in the microwave.

But all I can think about is creamy curried eggs

Today is a big day - not only starting the pre-op diet but am exactly two weeks away till surgery date... It seems so weird. trying for so long with such a hard battle with always nothing but disappointment to now having a real tool where I can really see that I will have success. After what seems like my whole life struggling against the weight to have this tool so close now is amazing... There is a light at the end of the tunnel...where before there was always darkness.... Besides to wanting to feel and move better, I have never had a little black dress and really am looking forward to the day when I can go shop for one.. Wow won't that be something......I can't wait!!!!!

Weird night for me as well. I want the same , I've been through so much waiting for this day. Whatsoever I find myself very emotional, like I'm saying goodbye to my old self . I don't know what's going on , my surgery date is 5/28. I'm a bit scared too. Good lunch be blessed I wish that all of your dreams come true

Sounds like you met the requirements. Maybe check with your surgeons insurance rep. I got my approval prior to starting the program.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
