I got my surgery date! May 26th! Now I have a question- Optifast 2 week diet



Recommended Posts

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 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?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
