Hello October friends! I'm week one down of the three week Optifast 900 shake pre-op diet. I'm actually quite amazed with myself and how easy it has been. Don't get me wrong- I'm hungry! But it's manageable. I'm glad to hear that so many of you are doing well. I don't always reply but please know that I am reading all of your posts and sharing this journey with you. :)

@@edie091371 No I'm doing 3 Unjury shakes a day & 1 lowfat yogurt. Too bad we weren't going to be at the same hospital!! We could do our walk together after surgery!!!!! They said I would be going home the next day in the afternoon. I don't have a smart phone so I won't be able to let everyone know how I'm doing until I get home. Kinda cool that I have a buddy going in the same time!!!

I will be in Fayetteville Arkansas having mine!

OMG @@edie091371 homemade broth yum yum I may try to fix some after my surgery. You and @@thinner-me have got this pre-op diet no problem. I had to sit at work Thursday while they had a potluck. 8 or more crockpots going all morning long killed me but I stuck with it.

@@anewme2015 that sounds like the same experience I had with the pre-op. Sometimes I would get a little hungry but it was manageable.

@@Jenaenae84 that does suck. I am so sorry that you have to fix all that while on the liquid diet. Hopefully you did well during the night and only have one more day to make it through.

I had a very rough day yesterday. It really hit me all the stuff I will be going through after surgery and I got really scared. I couldn't get it off my mind. The fear of the unknown, will I be able to handle it, will I be miserable, will I regret having this surgery. Even though everyone says "it was the best decision I made." It all came bubbling up. It is still there today but more manageable.

I have been very lucky at home. When I went on the liquid diet my wife cleaned out the cabinets of all food and just put my Protein Drinks on the shelves. Then she doesn't cook anything when I am around. She was VERY worried I would not be able to stick to this diet so she gave me every chance to succeed.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
