I am so so so happy! I just did my last drs visit yesterday and they submitted my paperwork today and I got an approval. I do not have to do the psych evaluation. O I almost forgot surgery date April 12th.

My surgery date is April 12th, I'm on my 5th day of Optifast. Nothing outside of 5 shakes a day, no caffiene, and tons of Water. I wasn't nervous about having surgery until I had my date and now I am. Plus, I'm having my surgery in another city and I'm going alone because we have a toddler and it is just easier for everyone. I don't know if I'll be more worried for surgery or my Husband juggling work and a 2 year old for a week lol.

@happyhealthymama I'm so JEALOUS. I've got a 6yo and a 3yo. I'd LOVE to go alone to the hospital, but I guarantee they'll all be there half the time. I'm trying to bribe my surgeon for an extra day.

It's been hard (tempted to cheat every day lol) but it's been worth it so far. I've lost 7lbs since Monday. The first week is always the hardest and the highest weight loss. How are you doing?

Haha, I didn't think of it that way. I will be using my time away to catch up on over 2 years of sleep

What kind of shakes are you guys using and where did you get them? My surgeon doesn't care what I use as long as I hit my protein count. I start preop diet on 04/05.

I'm on Optifast which is prescribed by my dr but there are many comparable shakes over the counter with high protein low carb/calorie. I've heard good things about Isopure.
