Yeah! I finally got my surgery date! I am excited and nervous at the same time! I will have to do a 2 week Optifast diet prior to surgery starting on May 12th. Did anyone have to do this specific plan? Is it gross? Will I be starved for the whole 2 weeks? How much weight did you lose on it?

Thanks!

Hi

My surgery date is May 26th too.

My 2 week liquid diet is Protein shakes and clear broth/liquids.

Kinda nervous but also excited.

Good luck, message me if you like.

^{Yeah! A surgery buddy! We will definitely have to stay in touch!}

My surgery is on May 14th... I'm doing the optifast is alright... But this is my third day I'm hungry but I have been away from the kitchen..... Is a challenge they said after the 4th day it will improve let's see tomorrow... I'm going to school and work, and I don't know how I'm going to make it for this 2 weeks ????

My original surgery date was April 28th but I was rescheduled to May 26th!

Hi everyone, I'd like to start a group chat for us starting around the same time on this journey.

Let's use a convenient free app to chat.

Hi everyone, I use whatsapp for years. I've never paid but others now tell me that the first year is free and the next year is 99 cents.

It is a great app, for group chats, sending pics, video, audio and I think for our first year will be of tremendous help to all of us. Anyone who would like to join us please download whatsapp.

I will send a private message and you can send me your phone number and I will send you mine or just pm me if you like to join.

We need SUPPORT.

We need ACCOUNTABILITY.

We need MOTIVATION.

Let's begin this journey together.

Hi everyone. I'm starting the same adventure. May 26 Date, go for my pre-op info on the 6th. Very nervous and try to research all the info I can. Would like to stay in touch and know what apps are being used for tracking. I found one caloratio that was developed by a bariatric surgeon. Has anyone tried it?
