That's my date too! I met my surgeon and they gave me a date for two weeks later!

I'm on day three of the Optifast shakes. I've given up caffeine too so I'm about ready to rip someone's head off and beat them with the soggy end.

August 23rd. Had to go through six month medically surprised weight program first and all the other hoops. I can't wait! Not looking forward to the two weeks prior. Can't imagine being on liquids for two weeks. Blegh.

12 hrs and 20 minutes until I check in to the hospital!

Just sent a request to join the fb group.

August 24th! One more week before I start my two week Optifast diet. I've stocked up on the shakes and am ready to go, can't wait!

I'm telling very few people, mostly because I'm quite a private person, but it'd be great to have a buddy or ten. I'm in Australia if that makes a difference.

Me too :-) 8/24

I am 3 days post op and doing great! I was so so nervous prior to surgery, but I'm telling you all, it wasn't as bad as expected. Pain equatable to having gallbladder removed. I'm still bloated looking, but I've went down from 242 to 229 since I started the preop diet. I love this page!!

LOL. Oh dear. Well I actually lucked out. My surgeon doesn't believe in starving us. Thank you, Jesus. He just put is on high Protein, no starches or sugars for 12 days then Clear Liquids for 48 hours before surgery. But look at it this way, you'll get a much bigger head start on your weight loss than I will. I've been on it for 5 days and only dropped 1 pound.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
